Night rising ~ day falling ~ stars appear
blue changes to black
puffy white clouds illuminate
a diamond necklace of stars.
The still air
brings clarity and focus
to the scene.
The quietude elucidates leitmotiv.
Waning light of early twilight
ere encroaching night
foreshadowing a time of infirmity
brought to an end by the finality of death.
Just like the black sky ends the daylight.
