Moonlit Night

I aroused from my slumber to find the sky above me painted with a mixture of pinks, oranges, blues and a faint red. Sunset was one of the most peaceful times of my nights. I watched as the beautiful spread of colors slowly faded into the deep purple black that meant night was upon me. I gathered everything I would need for the night into my satchel that I placed on my right hip and jotted out the door. Out into the cool breeze of the night I went, the moonlight guiding my movements as I approached the edge of the woods on the back side of my home. The tightly woven trees made it impossible for the light of the moon to reach the floor of the woods, creating somewhat of a black hole look along the tree-line.
