A Quest For Beauty

In the ethereal grace of twilight 
A shroud of serene solitude settles 
over the skies and the mountain range
like the pitiable pain of a pining heart.

Nature suddenly seems 
to have lost the flare of the sun
and the radiance of the moon
awaiting some spiritual manifestation.

A languid river snakes languorously 
through the forlorn forest
as if overcome by the soft
and healing autumnal evening.

Abdul, congratulations on your win with this poem so filled with striking imagery - "a languid river" for one. Blessings.
