Rebel Light

The rebellion begins quietly as the evening ends, just before the day is submerged into the coming night. Have you ever noticed? The tangible moment as the sun begins to touch the horizon...and suddenly every speck of light, every ray of brilliance grows in intensity, revolting against the coming dark and painting each surface, each shadow and blade of grass, each tired face, each piece of dandelion fluff in shades of gold that glow as if the entire world is on fire. And that moment, when the light manages to turn back the encroaching dark completely, that moment seems to last forever.
