Waiting For The Morning Light

Calm is the late evening sky.
Cloudless and yellow with a tinge of orange.
A thin breeze of air cutting the thick silence
Trees sway to its melodic tune.

Shadows fall in unison.
The sun showcase its final encore ofbrightness
Before the curtains of darkness close
Over the silhouette of mountainous landscape.

A final glimpse of the wondrous blazing light
Before it plummets behind the mountains.
Darkness arrives dramatically.
The sky turns black.

Where is the sun? The one
Which brought joyfulness by its mere presence.
The one we shall wait for in hopefulness.
Waiting for the Morning Light.
