Cafe Terrace at Night
Desmos analysis

The Café
I hit a dead end.
The street just ended right here.
It’s very odd how the ground switches.
From a black, smooth asphalt,
to an old, rocky ground.
That reminded me of a gravel walkway.
The sun was setting straight ahead of me.
With a gradient that was painted
by a professional.
From navy,
To yellow rose,
A truly amazing sunset.
The café’s lights are turning on,
but no one is here.
No one.
Silence covers the dead end.
There are tables in a courtyard,
but no people to sit at them and talk.
The silence is peaceful, and comforting,
like a hug from the Almighty.
What a way to end a perfect day.
