First Star

In solace of twilight, a red sun fades, while my window kindles a first star, sparking old reflections This one evening star has carried the weight of the world pricking the night for answers to ancient questions _____________________________________________________ By Carrie Richards Inspired By The Contest "Shine With Your Naani" sponsored by Nette Onclaud 6/25/14

Beautiful, Carrie...I'm a star gazer myself. My favorite line? In solace of twilight...it is a magical healing time....Also..."sparking old reflections" What is it about the starts that brings that on? Lovely, indeed.
