Jolted by Twilight

I lay with languor praying for an answer I’d been seeking. Azure glitter-drops splashed upon the clean white sand nearby my feet. I drifted into sleep then as wisps of clouds in a sky mirroring the cerulean sea beneath it wafted slowly like my slackening pensive thoughts. I’d dozed and was awakened by gulls’ shrill long calls. Instantly, I was jolted by twilight, and I saw crimson and persimmon devouring sky. Slathered-on apricot and rubescent streaks formed the backdrop to the seagulls’ piercing shrieks. Some saffron deliciousness was also in my view when just as suddenly came the answer to the question I’d been pondering before my nap. It came as if the sunset had the sound of a snap! Gamboge, tangerine and raspberry sorbet drizzled into sea at the end of that day. Mesmerized and well-pleased, I lingered there. Dusk turned into night with the hush of a prayer.
