Night fall

A procession of mourning clouds, draped in black velvet,
silently emerged from behind the twilight curtains, filling the wood with nostalgic birds singing farewell songs in discordant notes.

Nocturnal insects buoyed up the exhausted queues
of farmers that littered the path at sundown, along with famished fishers in dugouts returning from the endless sea.

In deference to nature's signal, they heralded the onset of night. In obedience, I shielded my shear, listened to the crepuscular melodies of happy birds, and the chirping praise of insects as the lucent smiles of the fickle sky waned, faded at far western horizon.

The sun was eclipsed behind drapes of darkness, ushering in somber reign of night over the moribund day, pale as famine.
