The Blue Hours
The civil twilights
The polar opposites
Mother natures good mornings and evenings are
balanced in blankets of blue,
Introducing us to new beginnings
Navy greets us twice a day
The serene beauty outshone by its greedy nemeses,
Sunrise and Sunset
We open and close our eyes alongside nature,
and the blue hours greet us once again
It is the purest form of peace,
Preparing us for our bedtime while also serving its purpose
as a natural wake up call
The trees are nothing but silhouettes preparing for
their day during the blue hours
The purpose of the second blue hour is to shield
the stars before total darkness takes over
They appear one by one, allowing the
navy sheet to slowly fade away
The blue hour is outshone yet again

I wrote this piece because I was inspired by a specific time of the day that I didn't even know the name of. I also enjoy times throughout the day that involve peace and quiet.
