When darkness falls

[franceslievens]

Coming out of the tunnel, they sky has suddenly darkened. I wait at the red light and look at the last light of the day, before the street lights are on. The passing tram glows brightly and shows every passenger inside.
In this fading light I realise the Summer is already drawing to its close. There are still trips and outings, but also work ahead. It's a strange sensation of goodbye and a feeling of loss for something that will return eventually.
