Twilight's Veil
The sun slips down beyond the hills,
Painting the sky in amber trills.
The world is cloaked in twilight's veil,
As day gives way to shadows pale.
The trees stand silent, still as stone,
Their branches bare, their leaves long gone.
The crickets chirp a somber song,
As night's dark mantle lingers long.
A hush falls o'er the sleeping land,
As darkness takes it by the hand.
The moon...
