Into the Dark

Silently; I admire the last summer twilight. From below the horizon light’s glow prevails. blissful: the feeling of suspension between day and night There's an eerie pause in onward motion as time stands still. A flicker of universal stretching of light in full view. Too soon the sky is replaced with a terrifying hill. My mind crumbles as dark falls all around. Shadows descend bringing a crisp, quiet chill. Weighted down by my silence, I'm upward journey bound. In a panic I look around but all I see is wall. Not yet knowing the climb begins with a downward spiral. Lonely; I embark on my inward fall.
