Tinged by cinnabar the spent sun sets at the gray edge of the gloomy horizon. As all the shadows of the extant lengthen, the diffused light of the day they cannot sap. Dusky dimness descends opaque and heavy, floods the blurred spine of the pining plateau, captures the lively tinge of the emerald trees, until the shadows fade into obscure gloom. Luminosity of the remnant reminiscence glimmers in the deserted mental foyer. Remnant rays of the drifting crescent moon, illumine the obscure corridor of memory. Clutching its silhouette the mystified life drifts through the diffused array of the moonbeam, knowing the stars shine bright in the dark sky, the candles burn bright in the gloomy room.
