Skies Ablaze

Skies ablaze, day is done
  Dying rays, setting sun

 Embers sink in the sea
 One last wink let it be

 Light will fade, darkness shrouds
 Flight of birds above clouds

Love this gossamer succinct poem, Joseph. Your ethereal words are light as a dove's feather. Love and more love to you and yours forever.

Could be sunset, yet i feel the awful fires out of control around the world, when reading this. Regardless of that, love the poem.

"One last wink, let it be" So delicate and tender. Your words caress softly around me and my heart. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. :) Brandy
