Preface

The sky is a deep shade of gray,
Greatly contrasting the hill which stands ablaze,
With a bright hue of orange,
Projected on leafless trees,
By the setting sun.
The hill shadowed in the foreground,
By the dark green of pine trees.

As the sun continues to sink,
The orange dims and the gray lightens,
While the colors of the sky, hill, and pine trees blend.

It is early spring,
But the trees remain lifeless.
The absence of the sun's light,
Provides a solemn preface to the night.

Peace,
Justin
