Day nine- poem in haikus!  Haven't done this before, kind of fun :)

Haiku Sunset

Red paint streaks across
a palate of sepia,
purple fades to grey.

Crumpled paper leaves
scatter all over the ground,
blown off by the wind.

Sky darkens; coaldust
smears black shadows across the
leftover pastels.

Inky sky pinpricked
with flickering matches and
a fingernail moon.

Mercury spills a
blurred silver stream through darkness,
ghostlike Milky Way.

Cosmic belonging,
the rush of infinity;
nature's vertigo.

Breathe in the stillness;
can you feel your self dissolve?
Ego lost in space.
