Escapril: Day 30. Prompt: Dusk

I'm aware that it's May; I've just got behind.  After this, I need to decide whether to go back and do days 1-14 of Escapril (either daily or in my own sweet time), or leave it and join in with Mayhem instead.  It depends on my motivation over the next couple of days, because Escapril would give me more breathing space, but I'd never catch up.  Mayhem would require more commitment, but I'll be 'on the same page' as others doing the project.  Decisions!

Dusk

Sunlight squints across the horizon,
Leaving trails of pink and orange as it fades.
The sky exchanges her daytime robes of azure
For her alluring indigo night attire.
As crickets chirp and mosquitos buzz,
A whole new world emerges.
Night creatures begin to appear

As humans tire and begin to relax.
The children's excited shouts are silenced
While sleep carries them to morning.
What's done is done; what's said is said.
Today has been lived, and tomorrow is a new day.
