The last vestiges of light fade
Twilight dawns, and darkness reigns
The onset of the gloaming
Limns the heavy-laden sky
A preternatural gloom pervades the dusk
Mantle of darkness chasing the light
The ominous epiphany of shadow
Besieges the dwindling day
A satiny veil of dimness
Extinguishing the faintest glimmer
The apocalypse of darkness
Caresses an expectant world
