I have always found dusk magical. With its colors and its timing. A day on the verge of getting over, and time to think of the valuable tomorrow that awaits us. Time for reflections, planning and hoping. And preparing to dream.
Stevn, these words are magical and are beautifully phrased.
Your poetry becomes ever more complete.

weaver - some evenings it's closer to pink but most i see on the very humid days of summer are closer to pale purple with a slight hint of cornflower blue. steven
tess - it's interesting to me that light qualities and the place of a moment in a day can affect the way we perceive the relationship we have with the world. steven
Wow this really has a magical quality to it. I love the phrase 'wrapped in ribbons of moonlight' because not only do you get a beautiful image, but you could almost touch them.

I love to take a walk at twilight. There's something quite magical and otherworldly just after the sun has set.
ReplyDeleteBirds and fish in communion with the water-skin between. Way to look closely and imagine, feel yourself in their world.
ReplyDeleteThe blue of dusk is a blue that is difficult to capture, but you've done so here, hovering, well wrapped.

ReplyDeleteterresa - it draws down into the earth and pulls away upwards into the sky and we hover at the finest point of the hourglass between the two. steven
