Notes About The Poem
Out on the porch at a different time of day..I just felt led to go out for awhile..It was such a peaceful time of day..Sara

Coolness of the Evening

The roosters are silent
The crow is asleep
Mocking Bird is somber
The Buzzards are grieved
The Sparrows are at rest
Babies hatching in  their nest? 
Now the Dove starts cooing
Then silent once again
It is the cool of the evening
When all seek some rest
The cool of the evening 
When God wants to commune
Be quiet_listen_Selah!
He' ll talk to you......

What a gentle observation... we have all been there, when sunset and moonrise are bookends to evening's softness and quiet. Well done, Sara! Best wishes, Keith
