...
The willow sat majestically on the hill, the sunset blazing from behind, sending a dazzling array of light onto its fine leaves; the branches curling and swaying in the breeze. You watch silently as the sillhouette of a fluttering bird dips beneath the boughs. The sun continues to set, the clouds turning vibrant shades of purple and creamy orange. The setting is so beautiful, you realize that you've been holding your breath, as if expecting the sound of your breathing to make it all vanish. You curl in the grass below you, hugging your knees to your chest, watching an ant climb onto a small morning glory, all closed up in the fading light, waiting for dawn so it can burst open with all its dignity and splendor. You lay flat on your back, watching for the first stars wink into sight. Then you see it. It's off to the left in the sky, barely visible in the fading light. 'Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight...' you whisper. The clouds seem to melt away as it grows darker. The stars are more numerous now, and you've lost track of the first one you've seen. The moon ascending from behind the rich lavender mountains. The last thing you see before you drift off to sleep is the resonant velvet sky.
