Amber skies.

Is it melancholy or euphoria?

Honestly, the colour amber exudes ambivalence in such a way that I can never decide if I am hopeful or cynical.

Such was the colour that greeted me, that faithful twilight of my arrival home.

Tanah Air. Earth and water.

A rather poetic way to refer to one's homeland. Mix those two things and you'd get mud.

Alas, what do I make of my return? I know not.

...

Amber skies above me;
What secrets doth belie thee.

Thy colour confounds many,
mine gaze lost as with any.

Oh cast thy taunts aloud,
I shalt yet face thy clout.

For what toll can thee bring?
What torment upon me sting?

To this pain I shalt say none.
In due time, 'twill be all done.
