Last Light of Day

A beguiling light
     sunsets voice to this last verse
     from songs that beckon
     no sound to this rhymes repose
     tranquil peace in dark retreat

Vladislav Raven Date: 8/6/2016 2:05:00 PM Hi Charlie, an excellent sunset, i can hear it sing to me. Your sunset has such peace and it instills peace into the reader. The words touch the soul gently as the peaceful vision hangs like gossamer within the mind. This has to be a seven Charlie. Have a good day....Mike.
