Closure For the Day

Multi-Colored sky
      spreads shades of clouds far and wide
                  Light, reflecting time
              brings peace to the observer
               granting closure for the day

I enjoyed reading this creative work. Some sunsets are wonderful and add so much beauty to the ending of a day. Thanks for dropping by. As far as I know we are okay. Phyllis did not get to take the brace off her leg but has to wear it three more weeks, well tomorrow will only two more weeks. It has been hard on her. Sara

And a glass of good wine, and treasured company. Beautiful writing. A perfect mood. There is so much to grateful for, not to focus on the mishaps which, for most of us, dwarf the overwhelming good. Joe.
