A Tranquil Tale of the Triumvirate

Temerarious sun knew he was done for the day - a bit tuckered out after all that shining and scorching. He waited ardently for the twilight - a tenuous connection between him and the dark tenebrosity. Fiesty twilight arrived with a storm of reddish golden hue mingled with muted orange, and stirred up with pink, purple, and grey. The vibrant twizzle painted the temporal world briefly with its magical touch before the terraneous shapes solidified to dark silhouettes, finally melting into her spangled cape - tenebrosity's cape! She tugged at her starry veil and glided down the steps, her twinkling train whirling and swirling behind her like that of a blushing bride 👰‍♀️. Eventually she picked up the silver salver, the beautiful moon, and titivated for a while. Sated, she placed the shiny sphere gingerly in a delicate pocket of scudding clouds who like silent sentinels, were timorous yet cautious not to drop her fragile reflector.


Thus is the tranquil tale of our Triumvirate: the sun, the moon, and the enigmatic tenebrosity. They transmogrify* our world into bustling days and dizzy nights. If they dine and wine together up there, communicate in lilting voices, or revell in merriment we wouldn't know. Their magical cadence and lyrical tintinnabulations of tines on trencher transcend the border of our physical perception of sound; yet isn't it mesmerising to visualise them together in the gargantuan galactic expanse?

The very thought that these giant spheres are hurtling down a fixed path in the middle of nowhere at an incredible speed to give a day-night feel while oceans to OLED devices and terra firma to toothpick are all tucked up neatly in their designated places, renders these phenomena magical. 


A glimpse through my lenses at the vibrant twizzle that touches the temporal world briefly before they solidify into silhouettes and finally plunge into the depths of tenebrosity:
