by Jon Rinka ( flourished 1983 )

Language: English 
Prismatic, platinum noon
Emerges from the liquid gold of dawn, 
And iridescent daylight lifts its head 
To watch the dusk descend—
And holds its breath in awe.
Awakening stars do a darkening dance, 
Skimming the tops of spindle trees 
Sketched against the rosy sky—
                             Scattering seeds of light
                             To all the winds of night.

Composition:

    Set to music by Edith Borroff (1925 - 2019), no title, 1983 [ ssaattbb chorus ], from Choral Trilogy, no. 3, ACA
