Embrace of Twilight

Twilight drapes the world in velvet hues,

a tender kiss between day and night,

where shadows grow and colors fade,

and stars wake softly, one by one.

There’s a hush that settles on the earth,

a pause between the sun’s retreat

and the moon’s gentle rise,

as if the world is holding its breath.

I walk beneath this fleeting light,

bathed in purple, gold, and gray,

where every step feels weightless, still,

in the arms of evening’s gentle sway.

For twilight is a promise kept,

a bridge between the dark and dawn,

a moment that lingers soft and sweet,

before the world moves on.
