The Final Moment of Light

The last golden beams of sunlight Shining bands cast an amber tint to the world Reaching out into a darkening Heaven Grabbing at the sky in a final vain effort It reaches for stars too distant to reach Trying to keep daylight for one more minute The sphere fades over a blue horizon From gold to violet to the darkest blue The world changes its hue The world noticed and becomes at peace Its chaos turns into a peaceful rest Even the strongest winds fade into a gentle breeze The sounds of life silent themselves And the world sleeps
