something so simple as a sunset provided so much closure, so much peace - and you're now more grateful than ever for staying awake, after the afterglow.
as the night comes to a close, the mystery and beauty within it does too - replaced by a new beauty. the beauty of new life, the beauty of new light - slowly making its way to the surface. the stars begin to wink out of view, one by one, and you watch them, gazing towards the sky just like hours ago. the transition from sundown to sunrise was as seamless and fluid as the water around you; the surrounding landscape pressed into memory.
Not long after, the sky begins to radiate with new colors. The astonishing blanket of pink and orange returns behind you, with the warmth of the sun placing its hands upon your shoulders. Another day begins, and everything you thought of the night before will guide you through today. It will guide you through tomorrow, and it will guide you through the rest of your future.

It's a warm summer evening, the calming breeze brushes by. The sunset creates a beautiful orange and pink aura, as you slowly see it dip below the horizon...
