Before the complete darkness falls after the sun says goodbye and sinks
down, the sky is an artist's workshop; the sky in a tapestry of colors that
makes me spell bound. The scattering light of the setting sun reflects the
colors and illuminates the sky in splendour that leaves me flabbergasted. Many
a day just passes off without much consequences or recognition. But there are
times of the day that reflection is simple yet resplendent. Twilight is that
part of the day, which seems to gently remind me to slow down, reflecting on
the present moments. For me it is a kind of distilled inspiration to watch out
for such moments.
The magical hours of twilight are a great time to watch out for its
beautiful hues. The reflections of the sunset and twilight colors in water are
a feast to the mind, heart and soul. The sky and the surface of the water,
inspire the mind with its spectacular artistry. The sunset is a promise for a
new dawn, yet it is majestically beautiful filling the soul with a dream of a
new day.
The glowing embers of the dying fire in the sky winks down from the sky
at the still waters, making it crimson with a warmth and illuminates the sky
with its reflections in the water as the curtain of the sky drops down the
twilight colors. The sinking lustrous, disc casts brilliant shades of colors
across the sky and the water surface.
Sunsets
are magnificent and awe-inspiring examples of the wonder of nature and there’s
one at the end of every single day! So when was the last time you stopped and
took a few minutes to appreciate this awesome spectacle? A beautiful sunset
illustrates the passing time while making it seem to stand still for just a
moment. The amazing display of light and color reflecting just can’t be
recreated anywhere else. In the hustle and bustle of life, it is often
forgotten how to appreciate pure beauty. You can rediscover the lost
romance of life gazing at the setting sun. They are so simple, yet can
transform the outlook of your life.
For me the evening sky is a constant companion that never fails to
soothe and heal me. A few moments spent gazing at the sky, in
the silhouette of the setting sun and the spectacular display of
the colors reflected, is an inspiration to forget all the heartaches of the
day, to wait for a new day that it promises me.
"Twilight comes in flushed with warmth,
soft diffused light scatters,
illuminating the sky,
as darkness befalls,
creating a flutter in my heart."

I love the after glow that the sun leaves behind after it has set. Seems like an apology rendered by the sun for the day time heat. Like an act of reconciliation from a son who has troubled the mother all day ..yet seeks to wind up in the arms of the mother and approaches her with the sweetest smile in an attempt to bring back harmony. A pleasing sight that comforts every mind. Lovely note chechi
