Kaleidoscopic Snapshot

In the mist of the journey’s penultimate mile at the edge of the fading pasture of future obscure in the twilight hour the sunset swansong resonates for the forlorn tree of the being silhouetted still against the blazing skyline of transient brilliance witnessing the last flicker of the dying day. Twirling threads of turmoil entwined seamless with the cleaved clouds of the swarming storm the unwary horizon halcyon once mimicking the chameleon transformation on the convoluted canvas burning the last corner from the surreal chromatic flare the ash flying away. The shards of the splintered sky in the swirling gale roll on the dismal waves of the curled up clouds the remnant rays of sanguinity surviving still in the departing flashes of the sinking sun fabricate the latent lattice of unframed dream in the petrified life’s kaleidoscopic snapshot.
