LAST WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the fading light of a Texas sunset,
the Texas windmill stands,
a sentry of rust and memory,
its blades stretching wide,
catching the last whispers of the day.

The gentle whisper of a Texas breeze seemed to dance through the words as I read. What a tranquil, gentle scene to close the day’s weary eye. Exquisitely crafted, dear Sara!

thank you, Ryan. We have one of those Texas windmills not too far from us. They're captivating and capture the essence of sunset on the Texas prairie.
