Fading fast into a moonless night

—

Fading fast

like soft and wispy

pinks, lavenders, indigo’s

cascading across the clouds

of a dwindling sunset

the sky darkens

into a moonless night

black and lifeless seeming

from heavy cloud cover

into endless gloom.

But a breeze slowly presses

until the cloud cover is gone

at first only a few stars

can be seen twinkling overhead

eventually the whole canvas

of the night sky

is filled with glowing lights

glimmers of hope

from afar.

For even in the darkness

even when all seems gone

there is still hope

there is still light

though it may be veiled

for a time.
