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 Gliding On Waves
Gliding on waves, the evening sun, Imparts glowing shimmering hue, As the misty evening is spun, Gliding on waves. Water adores the misty blue, Sprinkled with bits of love and dew, Hope and dreams for the life renew. Under the sky, the world is one, The sun shines upon, leaving none, For birth of new day has begun, Gliding on waves. ...

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,...

Premium Member SUNSET ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
We think we have the best of both worlds… we get to watch the sun set over the ocean… watch as into the water it slowly drops… And we also get to watch it set…into the horizon from on a mountain top. There are many things we love about sunsets… A few of them I’ll name… One is how in a lifetime...

Muse
In the mirror I see, framed like a painting a woman who mistakes face for truth, and wears affection like yesterday's shirt. Lost, confused, occasionally lying— One who fears loneliness, so she invites harm just to be seen. One who can't stand her shallowness— but in midnight darkness, a sharp Discomfort reminds her that she's none but a human— the her tale ends in...
