Illuminate the Way

Sun and Moon — Night and Day| GiaB prompt #15 — illumination

Like pages from illuminated manuscripts narrating the days gone by the sun and the moon give light to night and day glimmers shimmering on leaves well laid bordering the trails along our way

We are scribes with quills elaborating as the pages fill illustrations attuned with words illuminated by the sun and the moon

Technology strewn tables displace a well-honed craft days of illuminated manuscripts have passed still, we creatively tell and sell our stories by the light of the sun and the moon

The details of lives so beautifully designed aglow from the sun and the moon illuminating all the glory, telling our story long after our better days have gone by

This concept of illuminated in terms of illuminated manuscripts was inspired by my fondness for this ancient craft. I also played on my curiosity about the stories the sun and the moon could tell. Both pictures were taken out the same window of my house.
