Poem - The Colors of Midnight (22 Sept 2011)

The colors of midnight
are rose and maroon shadows,
yellow and cream houses,
and the dusty green
of trees
with the smell of jasmine
and dried leaves,
while over all
a single star shines
in a violet sky
as the distant cry
of a departing train
declares
"It's midnight on the lane."
