The Fading Light

I watch the sun's smile gleam on the petal as it drifts beneath the Dogwood tree moving from sunlight to shadow we once burned bright like the sun shining on everyone until heaven spoke now you are gone and my light shines no more 04/29/16

Very well executed melancholic piece. Beautiful and easy to connect with ... and yet another splendid shape.
