The sky is sliced into uneven shards
of twilight. Each shade
complements the puzzle as they
jockey to complete the view

an evening when sailors
once predicted life’s
movement for next daylight.

Our own space been filled with
adventure --
a walk in the park
visit to a mall and mailing that letter
to sister. Each collection of steps

meaningful yet we strive for something
special. And as we ascend
the stars in our staring the openness
above comes alive --

shades of colour now complete
darkness a blanket
of silhouettes sheltering last lighting.

Sun’s down.

Bless you, Julie. Yes our own movements under the sun are precious, as we affect so many others. Our smile, shrug or raised eyebrow signs for others to emulate. Let us enjoy the beauty of this world and allow it to soothe us. Richard L Prov. ps the cherries are yummy.
