Behind me, the full moon has risen. There is a high, thin layer of clouds that has captured her reflected light and transformed itself into a pale, bright veil around her.
Ahead of me, the sky still bears the afterglow of sunset: crimson fading up through gold and lavender into deep indigo. Trees on the distant horizon are like black lace stretched at the bottom of the sky.
Closer to the dark road, light glows from the windows of otherwise invisible homes.
Soon ...
very soon ...
there will be light shining from my own windows.
