Vespers of a setting sun,
...as calm on land befalls,
Quiets bustle of the day,
...a loon to darkness calls,
Evening paints a sunset,
...across sky's western face,
I soar above on winds of time,
...on wings of feathered grace,
With the birthing of the night,
...the sky erupts ablaze,
A million twinkling stars above,
...hearken heaven's praise,
Reflected on the plains below,
...the glow of moon's first light,
Unfettered wings of angel's grace,
...I soar into the night,
Past the starry sentinels,
...Orion's muted cry,
Luna's orb in majesty,
...across night's cloudless sky.
Solemn silence cloaks the night,
...nature in repose,
Evening's breeze in noiseless hush,
...upon the earth bestows,
Eternal benediction,
...as man and beast are one,
Immortal absolution,
...as final day is done.

This is a keeper.
What absolute beauty you've written.

'Eternal benediction,
...as man and beast are one,
Immortal absolution,
...as final day is done.'

This is some fine writing.

I'm honestly in awe...this was magnificent!
The imagery and the flow of this piece took
my breath away...I had to read it several
times just to let the full beauty sink
in...and I'm sure I'll read it many many
more times just for the sheer
pleasure...Thank you for sharing this
awesome piece of weave~

I needed to read this today. It's beautiful...though that word does little to describe how it touched me. Thank you.
