Safe Harbor

Peace comes to me in the evening. The harsh sunlight, while comfortable, is not comforting. With twilight comes the silhouette of the mountains against the western sky. Light blue fades to cobalt and the planets wink into sight. The brisk air refreshes my body and clears my mind, bringing in the scent of wood stoves and frosted pine needles. My soul settles in and I can reflect on my life; making plans for the future that would otherwise dissipate in the light of day. I’m in control of my destiny for those brief hours between dusk and daylight. I’m at ease with who I am, and who I will be. Nightfall shelters my dreams and strengthens my spirit, bracing me against the battering waves that will come with the dawn.
