Darkness Taken for Granted

brighter afternoon after the solar eclipse four eyes put away as couples are high-fiving emphasizing photographs heigh-ho back to screen first to post solar eclipse along with the throngs lucky strike of sunshine gold its older than the black hills the sun soon will set but will all appreciate the normal darkness? sunset taken for granted without retinopathy

Well, I may be in the minority, but I probably watch about 60% of all sunsets, outdoors if I can. I find them so majestic. And the colors last longer than do those of sunrises. ~ Streaks and Stripes, gw

We only miss the sun when it starts to rain. A lyric I love so much. Did you watch the eclipse? I saw a video of it and it was beautiful, magnificent. Nice piece Kim.

I didn’t have glasses so I partially opened blinds. Seemed to darken slightly. Afterwards I heard birda singing…reminded me of birds at sunrise. Thanks, Tonye ~ Kim
