The Sunset

The sun leaves behind another day.
But today was different. 
The blazing orb paints a dramatic picture as it reflects off the slender clouds. The unique energy and odd contrasts of the day are perfectly reflected in the sunset.

Today was a day of aching tears and of hearty laughter.

A day of lingering snow and of unexpected warmth.

A day of failure and success.

A day of shattering sorrow and of pure happiness.

Like dark, solemn figures, the trees try to block the western brightness - but with little success. From my bed, I watch as a splash of color leaps across my room, filling every open space. From my window, I see the sun peak from behind the trees - a last, brilliant greeting among the drab monotony of the forest. It's as if the great entity were there to tell me something.
All is well.

Through the heartache, there are still things to enjoy in the world.
