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

L Milton Hankins Date: 7/31/2022 8:44:00 AM 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! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/31/2022 6:36:00 PM Thanks for the love on this one, Milt!

Michael Tor Date: 7/31/2022 7:29:00 AM 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...
