Tendrils of violent navy slide down the sky
like ink running down parchment
extinguishing the flames of the mellowing sun
A midnight star gleams brightest in the sky
hanging precariously off the darkness
showing off its effervescent glamour
a fugacious twinkle
like fireflies in the sky winking down at you
imbuing a sense of safety
like a lullaby telling me to lay down
and disappear into the world of dreams
darkness is savage yet forgotten
because in the bright light of the day
the night is but an evanescent thought

Replying: civics in action is different from the community ambassadorship. WtW runs a lot of different programs.

This is beautiful. I especially liked the first two lines. You're great at writing vivid description.

Replying: You can look up a lot of different stuff, including different genders and sexual orientations. I've actually written a few pieces that give a bit of an overview. The links are in my Message from Writer, but here are the ones you'd probably want to look at:
https://bit.ly/38Nn91w (for different sexual orientations.)
https://bit.ly/3gMkJDl (for a kind of overview and explanation of how genders can be out of the binary)
I have other pieces but i felt like these were the most relevant :)

Wow! I like the small, deep twist in this (even if unintentional) and may I add the vocabulary and imagery. AMAZING!!!!!! I cant wait to read more of your work! :)
