24 hours
Midnight
12:00
black, rich, velvet sprinkled with shimmering gems of twinkling stars
Twilight
6:00
colors woven seamlessly into the dimming sky as the sun sinks beyond the shadow of the land
Morning
8:00
bright, translucent azure washed with the shining yellow of the sun and green of the trees
Storm
the sky darkens
and the blue recedes into angry hues
like dark red and tinted purple and deep navy
and then the clouds come in
rings of gray in different densities
like the huge arm of darkness reaching down from the heavens
slamming rain and lightning and thunder upon the land
carrying out nature’s wrath on the earth
while the ground welcomes the storm with open arms.
