Sultry evening surprise, the starry sky of fireflies! Pink, shining, full moon on rosy, Dragonfly Lagoon. Lofty fireflies are winking, as gold time is blinking. Ash silhouetted clouds, partially veil fleet crowds, that glow emerald green, until so suddenly unseen. The burgundy rose, dreams, as it's taken to dark extremes. Beautiful, flickering skies, in a world of time demise. The whirling fireflies play in huge shadows of day. Starlight on yellow petals, in perfume, where it settles.

Dear Evelyn, your words feel like stepping into a dream, one that's soft and glowing with the beauty of nature's quiet wonders. I can almost feel the warm air and the flickering glow as I read through it, drawn into that space between the day and the night. It’s almost tangible moment you’ve captured here,so full of fleeting beauty. Truly enchanting. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
