Premium Member Another Day Fades and Dies
Softly, the sun shimmers with golden glimmers as a sanguine sunset dances a marvelous minuet. Past the time of twilight skies, another day slowly dies, only to be reborn again on tomorrow's misty morn. With the warmth of radiant rays, Sol deftly displays Dawn's luminous light in place of celestial starlight. ...

The Sungazing
At the hour of 10:10, and again at 15:15, I stood—barefoot—upon Mother Earth. And I gazed. Not with the eyes of flesh alone, but with the soul’s unblinking truth. There—before me—was Ra, the Eternal Flame, not merely a star, but the whisperer of secrets, the awakener of the sleeping god within. The light poured into me— not warmth, but memory, echoes of a time before forgetting. He spoke...

Sunset In Florida On The Gulf Of Mexico
The sea is still, a painted glass, Its breath a hush upon the shore, As golden light begins to pass Through skies that blaze and burn no more. The herons call in liquid cries, Then vanish in the amber haze, And clouds drift low like lullabies Composed in fire for end of days. A sailboat waits—its canvas furled— As if it, too, would pause...

WRAPPED IN SUNSET SKIES
songer.co/song/p28w94cepxjcnq0xjrps48zb [Verse 1] Your hand’s in mine, no need to say, The sky’s burnin’ low, daylight fades away, Golden hour’s slow, a gentle fire, Like every year that built this quiet desire. [Pre-Chorus] Lines on our faces tell the truth, Every scar a proof of youth. [Chorus] When the sun dips down, and shadows crawl, Your eyes say everything, no need at all. No words left to...

Premium Member MONOCHROME
MONOCHROME © Sara Etgen-Baker 2025 Sun slowly descends, and the world turns monochrome, like a black and white drawing on the Creator’s easel. I patiently wait for night with its renewing spirit. Nightfall serves as a metaphorical curtain closure, while dawn symbolizes a daily reopening, with the birds serenading harmoniously on cue. dusk whispers, night...

Premium Member Coffee together at sunset
We had a day straight out of a dream, perfect in every way. We savoured our favourite dinner, satiated, kicked back, put up our feet. It was pure harmony, we didn't want it to ever end. Front row seats for the best outdoor show in town. A mug of french vanilla coffee in hand, we were one with the universe....

Premium Member Sunset Reverie
Smiling down on the speckles of sand, already the warmth is fading. Dreaming of brilliant stars to appear as their mother rested on waves. At the height of graceful magnificence her soft chrome glow diminishing. One last show she would provide before she went to bed. She reached her arms to the skies and bid her children "good night." Sinking slowly, hesitantly, into the darkness, she painted...

Premium Member Autumn Twilight
As I look out upon the heavens, a great sight meets my eyes, as I look upon the sky. Twilight has come. Oh! Wonderful twilight stretching across the sky! The song of an unspoken beauty, the dance of a graceful painting, the colors of a gentle wave. Pink, tinged across the blue, bands of color floating lazily about,...
