fell into the night
drifting as the workday ends
rushing to the next event
a plethora of choices
home with the family
short gatherings of friends
soon dinner for the evening
becomes enmeshed requiring
preparations for gatherings
whether within ones own walls
or another’s abode
available as they are
restaurants also provide
entertainment of plenty
familial or professional
adds to the evening
when shades of blue and gray
morph gloriously into
glistening speckled black skies
illuminating every night
for all to view
