Listen to poem:

Rapt

lingering
in the moment
stretching
the sun
takes 
a final bow
slow motion
a curtsy
and kiss
goodnight

Love the curtsy and the kiss goodnight, Line. A moment in time so wonderfully expressed in your vivid imagery. I was taken into your moment from the word lingering! Congratulations on your win! Besides, I love sunsets!

Nothing like connecting with the sunrise and sunset hours - a kiss in the morning and a kiss at night. I had a fabulous summer of doing just that. I recommend it highly. LOL
