A Day's Farewell

Deep shadows spread soft and gentle hands
   across the shore, along the strand

Gulls soar above , while evening sighs 
   with white wings against a crimson sky

Day clings to the edge of the earth
    as a red sun slips into the surf

That last line has such a basic beauty to it that it defies criticism or cliche. I wish I had written that line. This is soft and gentle. Much like you are, I suppose. Love, Gerard.
