Dusk In The Garden

Dusk falls in careful measure
slowly fogging the colours
of green, creeping on the warm
night air suffused with the
fragrance of lilacs, the
pervasive sweetness of
lilies-of-the-valley, and soon
the garden architecture, texture
and colour is all eclipsed
by night's enveloping embrace
while above the moon glides
in a sea of soft blue velvet.
