“There’s fire in the sky,” so the wind moans.
“It’s burns my fair skin,” weeps the cloud.
“Soon, soon though he will come,” the moon whispers kindly, “he will release you from the blaze.”
“And we will shine beside you,” the stars promise faintly.
The harsh sun begins to fade and purples and deep blues take over the sky, black satin waiting just behind for her turn. The broad rim of a tall, sleek top hat gleams with the pale luminescence of the moon above. The day has passed, it is no more, and death has come to claim his due. Dark wings rise over his shoulders as he stares into the night. His dark clothes blend with the ink-black canvas behind him. With a silent grace, the scythe he carries swishes in the cool air, caressing the tired wind as he moves. Death, Twilight, Escape, all his names strike fear and awe into the hearts of any who see his shadow against the moon as he takes wing. The stars cloak him in their brilliance and he quickly disappears into the world. Not to deal death, but to offer escape.
