This is gorgeous. And i love that use if the word "blent".. its great, i never knew it existed but it is so poetic.

Thank you! I'm always oddly relieved that readers don't seem to mind when I use those old forms... They're one thing I love about poetry!

"where minutes range/Their varied hues" the way that sunsets (or sunrises) change from minute to minute, or even in a matter of seconds making each moment unique and unreplicatable, is something I've wanted to express poetically for a while. You've done it masterfully here.
