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
