Orb

The snow white orb sinks slowly into its' slot in the ground before the ebony background, the brilliant contrast thrilling to view. It looks like a giant illuminated dropping into a hole in the earth, slowly sinking into the sands, only to emerge again the next night slightly altered in appearance. Yet if we are patient, the perfect orb will return to heighten our senses again from time to time, when the elements are right. Not so often as to become common, but often enough that we can sometimes relate to another time, another place, and bring back memories of fonder places, better people, or the same ones, just earlier on.
