+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Lavender pinks and sherbet orange skies,
~ Visions of grandeur beheld by awing eyes.
Swirls of cotton candy are lit by sinking sun.
God's perfect paintings are gifts for everyone.

The stillness is broken by a nightingale's song.
There is peace and a calmness as shadows grow long.
A time for reflection at the end of busy days,
To bask in the beauty of divine setting rays.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

iliana lily lady ~

Well, that certainly was a wonderful response! Thank you!

It was good to hear from you! Lately you have not been sailing these blue seas near enough for my liking! I've been missing your warm, bubbly, and talented presence!

The stillness is broken by a nightingale's song.
There is peace and a calmness as shadows grow long.

but what sweeter way to break the silence?
i experienced this very stanza last night, watching the earlier sunsets now that darkness comes earlier..

Cotton Candy Skies - and Angel after my own heart - it is amazing, the the paintings upon canvas that are oft times presented for our enjoyment - a gift, surely, from a loving God.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Such a beautiful image you paint for us and believe me, I do enjoy the imagery in a poem and I do enjoy that special time of day.  Now if only it were that time right now.
