Cool =D Sunsets are just so magical and metaphysical in a visual way jojojo people usually do not appreciate the whole trascendance of their manifestation, but you really do and express very well =) thanks for the experience and for the comments =D indeed the point about my poetry is taking daily life and reality to a very different context...to make it different and not so boring...among other things =D wiii

This is beautiful Lolita. It brings a memory of a seaside I used to live near, a sunset walk I used to take there, yes... now it's here in the parks. :) Hugs and many thanks for this treasure!
