Into Nightfall

As I sit on my deck, I see so much beauty before me. Blue sky and sunshine, they are fading now with shadows of dusk. Though summer is coming, my hopes have vanished into nightfall. May 27, 2020 for Let The Pens Flow - Sijo Poetry Contest Sponsor: Jenish Somadas

I wonder how many lovely poems have been given birth on that deck? Here is another example of your poetic touch taming the sky, seasons, and shadows. Beautiful, my friend.
