I wait until the day concludes,

and the sun is traded with the moon,

I watch as the sapphire sky fades,

into an inky sinister black shade,

the interim overflows with a rich colorful heaven,

and as the day is drawn I count my blessings,

cotton candy clouds part to uncover,

constellations from the world of another,

the last sleepyhead collapses into a pillow,

and the orange glow is stripped from a window,

the sounds of Autumn are replaced,

with beautiful tranquility fit to contemplate,

I stayed staring into this captivating sky,

until I drowned in my thoughts and closed my eyes.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
