Dust Mights

The sands of time
swirl about the streets
fleeing sunset
fearful of a darkness
looming in each daybreak.

Yeah, this is exquisite and going into my favs ... you never waste words, (and I never waste time reading your work), and utilize phrasing in a way that creates the most imagery with the least amount of words - THAT is an art form, in my opinion, and you have mastered it. Divine and darkly delirious - love this! :-)

It has been said that: "Brevity is the soul of wit". i always love the challenge of painting a picture with the fewest brush(or pen) strokes. thank you for your uplifting comment.It has been said that: "Brevity is the soul of wit". i always love the challenge of painting a picture with the fewest brush(or pen) strokes. thank you for your uplifting comment.

Well Mo, having grown up in the city I have a fascination with the movements on the streets in the eeriness of evenings
