The sun set in a fiery red against the spire of the local church. As the light reflected off the top, the sky seemed almost embarrassed by the grandeur of the tower. The sun cowered between the beams that held the spire, lifting it into the sky, allowing it to illuminate the waters down below. The town around it was silent, awaiting the resounding echoes of the bells, signaling the end of another day. But tonight, even the tower was silent. The bells no longer rang, they no longer sang. And the town folk knew, night had fallen forever more.

 

Authors note:  Michelle’s prompts for June are perfect for flash fiction writing.  I have chosen to do just that, each in 100 words, for the next 30 days. I hope you enjoy.  🙂

Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

The Sun Also Sinks – #MayWriting – #poetry

A feeling of floating, amidst the clouds

Far, far away from the raucous crowds

Letting it lull me, into a sense of calm

The still of the water, tis my only balm

Mirrored reflections, a light in the dark

A journey unto myself, on this, I embark

And though my soul continues to seek

I realize, I am still one, among the meek

My heart, skips a beat, it longs ever more

For a way to stay, away from the shore

As I watch the day, up above me, shrink

It is then I realize that the sun also sinks

Beyond the horizon, she whispers goodbye

A wave of my hand, and a tear, from my eye

Awaiting the moment, she returns, ever bright

Lighting the heavens, and chasing the night

Bathed in warmth, they smile

Illuminated by morning’s light

Happy to stay there for awhile

Still sleepy-eyed, from the night

Beauty, like a picture, painted

A sight to behold, in symmetry

Lazing softly, remains untainted

Tis nature’s perfect poetry

Full moon child
Light shines
From thine heart
Floating gently
Across the night
We are one
Hand to soul
Grasp the power
Of the light
Hold steadfast
Until the dark
Is done

Watch the light
Flow slowly by
Breathe it in
Nothing between us
Not you nor I
Can ever stop fate
From beginning
Again

Fear not
The light
That covets
Night skies
Bask
In the glory
Of brilliance
Peace
Comes to you
In celestial sigh
We are
The dark’s
Resilience
