fade into the night.

excited leaves,
play in the winds fingers.
balancing birds,
sit aloft restless branches.
gentle waves,
caress the coral sand.
disturbed sand,
slowly settles to previous state.
bright clouds,
sail amidst baby blue skies.

dried leaves,
dance across the puddled' sand.
long legged birds,
scurry the timid shores' offerings.
the gentle sea,
keeps wooden vessels meek.
fine sand,
churn across the beach's surface.
jealous clouds,
rush to block the sun's brilliance.

palm leaves,
wave patterns of shade on the sand.
a steel bird,
roars across the sky's expanse.
alluring waves,
call and invite me to indulge.
placid sand,
wakes my prudent thoughts of circumstance.
untainted clouds,
now dip into the sea at the horizon.
orange sun,
follows suit.
and with it,
all cognizant beauty fades.
the cold,
forms alliance with the growing darkness.

BRAVO!!! Ooohhhhhhhh...this is a fabulous fresco of life you have painted, sweet friend, this is gorgeous, and even as the night imbues the canvas, there is still much life to go around from the fireflies to the snow owls and all the crickets and the symphonies they sing! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is breathtaking! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
