Before Dawn

Twilight

Twitching and turning not knowing what the day will bring.

In the silent frame of darkness, I contemplate my fate. Where has my life taken me?

The transitioning of light now pushes the darkness from sight.

As the sun rises, the twilight and its beauty appears.

My thoughts of the past now disappear, as well as everything I fear.

This golden hour in yellowish and reddish hues is delighting my very soul. Hope and life once again appear.

Thank you for reading.

The morning hours just before dawn are usually quite spectacular. That is if you are awake! There is a short time when the lighting is just right for photography known as the “golden hour.” This also occurs in the evening at sunset. I found this article on how the golden hour scientifically happens. (Golden-Hour) Strangely enough, I happened to be up this morning during this golden hour.
