Whispers of the Evening
In twilight’s embrace, the world ignites,
Soft colors wane, as day retreats,
The sky, a canvas of gold and indigo,
Where dreams take flight on fragile wings.
Soft colors wane, as day retreats,
The sky, a canvas of gold and indigo,
Where dreams take flight on fragile wings.
Silhouettes dance amid the trees,
With every rustle, a secret shared,
The gentle breeze carries echoes sweet,
Of laughter and love, in soft twilight air.
Stars awaken, a shimmering sea,
Each one a wish, a promise to hold,
They twinkle like diamonds, bright and bold,
Guiding our hearts through the night untold.
Oh, let us wander where shadows play,
Hand in hand, beneath the moon’s glow,
In the hush of dusk, we’ll find our way,
Crafting our story in whispers slow.
As the lantern flickers against the darkening sky, we are reminded that love, though it may fade, leaves an indelible mark on our souls. Each wave that crashes upon the shore speaks of moments cherished, urging us to embrace both the light and shadow of our experiences, for in the heart’s quietest corners, love continues to linger.
