Sunset's Reflections

The majesty of a magenta sky fades perceptibly before my eyes Can it not be bottled before it dies Sigh ~ back to catching fireflies

Some scenes we wish to bottle up as we did with fireflies ! Lovely penning !

Pity we can't bottle some of those scenes! Thanks, Valsa.

Superb, my friend. I particularly like the phrase, "Can it not be bottled before it dies." Afraid not, so enjoy it while you can. On the other hand, tomorrow's dusk will bring another one!

A favorite Gershon. One of the best I have read this year. Love the pause wanting to bottle before it dies and realizing you can't with the pause, some disappointment in you, and helping you cope by catching the fireflies as an alternative to your failure to bottle. Magnificent, so much inferred in so few words. Clever and creative. It is an out of the Park Homerun my friend...

This is my favorite of your nature poems, the wishing to bottle it! Just so. Elizabeth
