A step into the backyard at twilight into a glorious sunset…
*****
flames etch the horizon
scorching into memory
its fiery sadness
brandishing the heart

searing the soul
*****
*****
slow with descent
melting in splendor
darkness engulfs
close of day
as the last ember glows
*****
A beautiful sunset stills the mind, calms the heart…become lost in its splendor. ~catnipoflife

Beautiful photos and poem. Susnsets can be so magnificent!
Sunrises and sunsets – priceless!
Like the colors.
They were so brilliant last evening. I don’t recall one of quite this magnitude here at home in south GA.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Kind of grabs you, doesn’t it?
Simple wonder and extravagance in words and pictures!
Thanks, Mark. It was one of the best ever!
Absolutely exquisite sunset. I love the sky more than anything else becuause it’s is always changing, showing beauty, rage, sorrow and hope.
You said that right, Micki! The photos turned out much better than I had expected but even then they did not capture ALL of its essence.
What wonderful splendor. The photos remind me of a house where I once lived. At night, I could look out the patio doors and see the splendor. I miss that. Thanks for capturing my love of the sunset.
