Battle.

 

  

Battle.

 

Settling mysterious glow on late 
sky's afternoon show

Phoebus hazily parts blown veils

on early twilight's face
by pushing her fading round bulk

between striated clouds.

 

Rays beat moon's rising attempts 
to end day and outpace

dying light's race by interference

when sun shines again

from behind each vestige of grey.

 

Desiring to taste more this defiant

line-bleed of victorious

display as beach quickly empties
I drink shades of linked

battle between daylight and dark

as stars wink adieu
to bid blue apt goodbye in finalé 

then old Sol sinks.

the movie that lasts for a full day...is there an intermission?
because the imagery is so enthralling in this...i do not want to walk out and miss any part.

Ah - - thank you for such a generous review of the battle both powers try to win in my attempt at personification - - so pleased you enjoyed the read dear jacob.

and you do the personification perfectly...the battle is pretty evenly matched...not sure either side is stronger...just different.
