• The sun is setting
    a garnet jewel in the sky.
    The light that was the day
    is melting into the horizon.
    As the twilight comes,
    shades of deep blues and rich violets
    blend to become one.
    The dusky colors
    grace the background
    and form the skyline.

    Night has fallen.
    Darkness reveals to us
    a crecent shape,
    the broken pearl suspended above us
    in an empty expanse of space.
    With its soft glow for guidance
    the nocturnal creatures come from hiding
    to be part of the world veiled by light.
    The nightengales song
    take place for the lark,
    and is joined in melody
    by the cry of a lonesome wolf.

    An atumnal wind
    is born in the cool air.
    It sweeps along the meadows
    and whispers through the wooded moorland,
    taking with it the last fall leaves,
    from the branches
    of the great trembling aspen trees.

    Midnight approaches.
    The violet hues
    vanish into the depths of black skies
    and carefree clouds
    look as if they’ve fallen from a painters canvas.

    Accompanying them in nothing short of chorus
    are tiny gleaming stones.
    Chips of jade and diamond,
    footprints left behind by mother nature and father time.

    The fading of diurnal sounds
    make way for new.
    Shadows seem to sigh and murmur
    telling tales of ages lost long ago.
    Simple shapes twist to become monsters,
    trees become walking hands
    to capture children in their sleep
    and stones like mighty Leviathan
    Make waves to engulf sailors lost at sea.

    The imagination of those who dream
    brings about the world we see.
    Chaos and Harmony
    coexisting with little more than simple peace.
    If all life were as simple as twilight and midnight
    fading so easily
    then it would be a cherished place
    not that of misery.

    But life is not a game we play
    nor is it some childs make believe
    but more a state of reality.
    What you have is what you get.
    no more
    no less
