Before darkness,

the twilight.

The sun’s warm beams soften, glow.

The harshness of the day subsides.

Beauty is intensified.

The earth is a canvas painted with peace and warmth,

oblivious to all that is not beautiful.

Before darkness,

preparation.

The bittersweet goodbye of a soul,

knowing his journey is inevitable.

The chance to unburden hearts and thoughts.

Before darkness,

peace.
