The Golden Moment

The most beautiful moment in this city is the moment when the sun is slowly setting and turns everything to gold. It touches each window and facet of the buildings and turns them to beautiful sculptures cast in gold then bronze then a shade somewhere between deep blue and ocher. They slowly transform into more than just concrete and steel. These glorious beings who are steadfastly watching over us as the day disappears and promise to forever be there for whenever we should need them. They watch us as we move amongst them a silent presence observing our lives and protecting us as we struggle to live out our dreams. 

These monoliths of mankind's construction are forever invisible in their roles until that brief moment most of us miss. That moment when the earth slowly rotates to reveal their true perfection while slowly casting them in darkness. Try and catch it if you can.
