Gilded Sun: Silvered Moon

"The sun shall shine in ages yet to be, the musing moon illumine pastures dim, and afterwards a new nativity for all who slept the dreamless interim." ~ Nathalia Crane Twilight and its prismed colors paint the Earth in soft roseate light. Rays of the sun descend, glowing like threads of gold, woven into clouds above the ocean's threshold. Brushed with pastels of pink and lavender, the sky is a beautiful canvas to behold. Soon, the moon will ascend, and its lustrous silver sheen will be reflected in my lover's eyes. gilded is the sun as it slides into the sea ~ silvery moonlight April 14, 2021 Writing Prompt- Shine - Contest Sponsored by Constance La France

Hello Jenna Logan, the sky is beautiful during the day and more beautiful at night. With a beautiful sunset to look at. And in the early morning a beautiful sun rise. Enjoy your evening my friend.
