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.

Breathtakingly beautiful, this is definitely "my" type of poesy.

Rex - There is beauty in the words enhanced by an unusual cadence which drums its own beat. It goes straight to the visual where that "hush in the afterglow" waits. I like this a lot Rex. Namyh
