A digital painting that shows sunset on a duck pond but a cosmic night sky that explodes with light.

Darkness around
Stopping time
Light rising in the night
White blazing rays
Blinding those swallowed by Hades minions
Dawn, sweet dawn

Midnight morning
Wind blows hard
Ruffling my hair
Ribbing the creek
Night descends

 With her ever wonderous cloak
Ducks chase each other
For a piece for bread

Ripples case
Ripples dance
Reflecting the stars
As shorts echo a homerun
Ducky a girl cry
Tossing bread
Pouts as they return to water
Trees sigh
Cool breeze delicious treat
Such peace as this place was made

Alone in the light
Ghost white
Silent ship at sea
Dancing with refracted moonlight
Under the north star bright

Heavy rock thunders through the air
The ducks cringe in fear
The bobbing battles while
Minnows swim inside
Running around in circle
