When sundown's orchid banners fade
And birds wing outward to the sea,
And rising mists, like phantom drapes,
Envelope me...

Then through the far and far away,
As evening's benedictions fall...
Across the silent deep of dusk
I hear your call.

Mute then the birds and seas are stilled,
And the breath of the wind is low...
And only I know the reason why
Of the hush in the afterglow.

~Ooh,...I got tingles. This is beautiful. It's music. It's the kind of poem you close your eyes, lean back, and smile after reading. Thank you Rex for that. Take care. *Peace.
