When darkness falls
Light lies in wait
Painting with graying pallette
To the eye’s delight
The sky erupts
Displaying its mood
While the flower lies safe
In the forest’s gentle arms
Tenderly awaiting
The sun’s awakening

Loved the sequence of the photos and narrative. The photos are incredible, love the storm cloud and then the final burst of sunlight, magical!
