The moon adjacent the setting sun,
Celestial standoff.
Two gods fighting for dominance
Of their open air domain.  

A legion of stars,
Greys and blues encroaching
On the suns last stand.
Hues of orange and streaks of pink,
Gold covered clouds,
A fiery fortress on the horizon
The last defences.

The battle commences,
A gladiatorial display.
A collision of light and dark,
Carnage painting
The heavenly battlefield.  

The sun in full retreat,
As the moon ascends into
His new position
As ruler of the sky.
