Analysis of Sun to dark

Robert Hansen 2001 (Illinois)



The sky rolls dark as a storm rumbles in the distance; the sun hiding behind thick forming clouds.

A loud crash of thunder shakes the ground beneath a poor soul. As they walk further on their path, it gets harder to strive. Minutes turn to hours, hours into days, days into years; time passes slowly for the soul walking through life.
