Before

Before the Day morphed into Night, a scarlet sun inked clouds of white. And tinted the sky with its light; a cotton candy pink delight. Before the black birds cease to fly, murmurations swirl through the sky. Mesmerized, I let out a sigh, applauding as they shapeshift by. Before shadows merge into one, twilight drinks the last of the Sun. And though Dusk has barely begun, a rising moon won't be outdone. Before darkness slowly descends, silhouettes merge as daylight ends.
