pastel colours

gentle, clear, and pure as they are,

pink, yellow, with a hint of orange and light blue.

pastel colours.

adorning the otherwise ordinary exchange of the two,

day and night,

they come,

come while we wonder within the open air.

and wandering we can do,

as it invites us,

strangers of the descending night,

to stop.

to stop and sense nothing but

stillness,

calmness,

and warmth of colours.

pastel colours,

of course.
