Title: Kiss of Day and Night

I look at the sky. It's fading slowly.

Blurred streaks of red and gold

spread across the horizon.

The world falls silent, holding its breath.

I feel the warmth of the last rays,

the gentle touch of the sun on my skin,

which bids me a gentle farewell,

kissing my forehead goodnight.

I feel peace in my chest,

at my fingertips

the fragility of the moment.

I admire the colors of the spectacle.

Fiery orange, delicate pink,

deep purple weave the canvas of sunset.

It fills me with gratitude

for the day that falls asleep.

for the night that awakens.

Somewhere in the distance, the birds fall silent,

disappearing behind the tree line.

I think I, too, will disappear for a moment

to find myself – the promise of tomorrow.
