Blue Hour At Vienna's Rose Garden

L'Heure Bleue
has arrived at
Vienna's Rose Garden.
The National Theater building
still retains the faint golden glow
of the sun's last rays
sinking fast behind the tree tops,
irretrievably

giving free reign
to atmospheric blues
before dusk falls

A sea of roses
burning bright,
one last rearing up
as twilight gives way
to dove-grey dusk
