If a picture is worth a thousand words,
most of my writes are not long enough.


She sits solo, staring silently, serene sunset soothing her savage soul.
Surrealistic scene?

The progression from day to night needs no one for adornment.
Nature permits passionate ponderings, without expectations.
Position yourself to receive the full bounty of a country sunset.
The warm red-orange glow on the horizon silhouettes everything,
creating monumental statues where moments before
ordinary objects resided,
highlighted and shadowed by the brightness of the daystar.
Listen to the changing of the guard, the night creatures in stir
as the day activists curl fetal,  seeking refreshing renewal.
Feel the breath of air as it moves over the landscape, embracing the land.
Breathe in the moment of ionic exchange as if
you might never again be given such a moment.
Settle into the scene, become one with the wonders of your world.

Can you picture this?

You painted it perfectly Kacy.

Kacy,
========================================
If a picture is worth a thousand words,
most of my writes are not long enough.

...
Settle into the scene, become one with the wonders of your world.
========================================
It seems when it comes to your words you count poorly. They have added up quicker than you think! When you write I don't need a picture. Except for that camelhaired bikini!


If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

it's about stallions and mares.....
