Have You?

As the daylight descends into an abyss of darkness, light streams from the horizons of our perception to highlight the most vivid whites in sight. The human emotions feel a loss of warmth, coupled with the expectant danger of a new evening. All of the security in vision is dampened by an impending sense of excitement coming from the new sources of light emerging into the sky. Through the veil of night slowly covering the day, a sole light shines in the distance--a solitary street lamp. Trudging down the path leading to the couldesac, footsteps seem to dance through the air as the perceptive senses are heightened to the sound of silence. The ricochet of each step reverberates through the hammer and anvil of the inner ear, penetrating through cells to reach the consciousness of the human mind. In a soft whisper, the gentle breeze seduces the ears to be compliant to its whimsical pattern of rustle and flow in the leaves. What could be at work in the night air? The crisp scent of winter breath intoxicates to no end and entreats us to stay forever in the comfort of its icy embrace. As the footsteps retreat towards the welcoming warmth of home, the emotions seem to be saddened, for yet another time has past, another exchange of light.
