Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
A glint of silver. A flash of gold. Vibrant red dimmed from violence.
Gleaming eyes. Pearly teeth. Palest skin, stranger to the soaring sun.
And the heart of their focus is an angel, rare and radiant, illumed to beauty with light from within. She sits on bowed knees, her spirit almost broken, helpless and fragile and tantalizingly vulnerable. It would be so easy to extinguish that inner light, the darkness carelessly muses, so very easy. Only the barest hinting remains of the blazing that was.
Oooh this is an intriguing start here. It seems like we've either got an angel being described as falling from their position as an angel for some reason, or I think in the more metaphorical sense here someone that had some more angelic qualities than most is for some reason having that more angelic side of her stripped away here. Its quite a powerful start here.
And yet, the shadows tenderly caress the angel’s form like an artist caresses the figures he paints with pigments and kisses of brushes. They do not encroach upon the light’s waning domain; instead they dance quietly on the border, enhancing by contrast the beauty of the paling in a perpetual dusk.
And it is lovely.
Well that's an interesting little image to slip in there. Right after we've got what seems to be the inciting incident there we've got ourselves a nice strong and rather abstract little image there to sort of visualize the extent of what's going on here and I absolutely love the way that its bringing this idea from the start to life here. Let's see how this goes towards that ending here.
The darkness broke her - the loneliness, the lack of life. The darkness could unmake her, change her into more of its kind, lightless, lifeless, lonely. But the darkness will not. The light, faint and fragmented as it is, is beautiful. And that light belongs to the darkness now.
Just as the angel does.
Well it seems we end in an interesting almost stalemate of sorts there judging by what appears to have gone down there. It does seem clear that the angel was robbed of the light and the angelic nature but there's also some mention of how light still seems to have some sort of place within the darkness. At any rate, you've left us with quite some intriguing imagery and lots to think about here.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
