soft-spoken sunset o’er a field of haze
like lengthening shadows glistening
yellow tints of shadows comfort the dusk
while fog-fingers scratch the palm

of calm’s surrender
to the foray of nocturnal bliss
awakening the drones of discord
to rapturous symphonies

ere short-lived rays of morning hope
whisper like love-drenched echoes
of serene repose gleaming and
glimmering o’er pools of nature’s tears

shed not so much in pain,
but to paint the canvass in liquidity
porous only to the carelessness
of its caretakers

waiting for yet another hazy, sunset day
waiting for yet another hazy, sunset day

I think of a creek bank and a cane pole.

thank you, Faith, every once in a while (usually when I have far less to say than words to express it) my muse tends to talk me into a repeat...glad you noticed it and commented on it...I always argue against using it...so, my muse thanks you...I suppose

Whew! This is just what I needed after the day that I have had today. Thank you, Steaven. As usual, I found an excuse to read it twice.
