Nightfall

How quickly the earth forgets all that the sun has said today As daylight bows out gracefully dwindling soon to silence hush now, ..... let's listen to what the night will say Listen closely ....stars are whispering It is all about sleeping... all about flowers folding for repose... all about bird heads tucked under bird wings: and dreams that walk silently after eyes close shhhh....

Carrie, you have written many great ones, but this belong among the triumphs of thought ... it is imaginative, bringing nature to light, with the magic of the heart ... I was away for a while, but I am back to bask in the freshness of your writes.

You have such a way Ms Richards of seeing ordinary things and making them extordinary. I especially like the first two lines.

There is a welcome sense of serenity in "Nightfall," Carrie. Whispering, sleeping, flowers folding for repose -- makes us want to hush and appreciate the stillness of night. Captivating, Carrie! Love, Carolyn
