Thank you, Barb! You truly outdid yourself on this one!
Twilight
Between dawn and sunrise
Where time seems to stand still
The sun not yet visible
Ascends in slow motion until…
Sunlight scatters along the horizon
Where clouds catch the first rays of dawn
Erupting into a blaze of color
Only heaven could possibly spawn
Standing on the edge of silence
A sense of calm penetrates the soul
Hovering between darkness and light
Sheer magnificence to behold
Between sunset and dusk
Day’s last light seems to stand still
The sun barely visible
Descends in slow motion until…
Intense color splashes across the horizon
Where the sky catches the sun’s last rays
Illuminating a thin veil of haziness
Below the clouds that are now ablaze
A silhouetted figure lost and alone
Against the pending backdrop of night
Grasps the last red-orange rays of the sun
Fervently kissing the day’s twilight
With radiant images now past
The world becomes shrouded in grey
While the twinkling of night’s first stars
Engulfs the glories of the day
