Birth of Night The season’s summer paint covers the hills bronze like earth breasts they flaunt their curves to sun then cover themselves in cloak of fog as they near the sea The spirit of small sun's flower fennel in yellow crown display near the ravine filled with cattail in the seek of moisture’s last rain and the oak trees rise like forever with peace of shade Behind the great rock El Moro the sun sets diluted by the turn of earth it mellows and changes form I watch the others that stop to give reverence to this moment when time stops in between couples holding hands children silhouetted with their sand mountains they all shade their eyes I hear a song that is timeless as centuries of human joy watch the miracle of the birth of night |

Yes. You so eloquently painted the transition that it made me catch my breath. Excellent, Martie. |

A most beautifully painted picture. A pleasure to read, and one to be read over and over. Very lovely. Nancy. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Oh darn girl...of some of the things I miss about my home turf, it's that I miss the Bay....this brings it back so very well, I didn't even need the photo that has been captured in your mind... I shall just have to go out among the grasses, close my eyes, and hear the surf again... well done! |

How wonderful to see sunset as a new birth rather than day's end... Simply lovely, Martie...  |
