Day Slides Away

Day slides away unspoken Over the timeless hill Dark oak and ash Stencil the fading light Black flickers of roost-bound rooks Imprint the low sky’s cushion clouds While half a world away God’s turning Earth unfurls Another’s bright Antipodean dawn. I love sitting outside as the daylight fades, witnessing the departure of another day – a day never to be experienced again. In 2003 at Llansadwrn in Wales, found me coming to grips with the awesome truth that I was on a vast globe which was forever turning, exactly as God designed!
