Sadness in Sepia

Some days . . .

Sadness arrives and its color feels like sepia.

HOW CLOSE IS THE FIRE?

A fire is burning 40 miles from your home
in Southern CA and yet you feel it. Nature
has a way of showing us its scary side.
The sun is red during the day and at dusk
all is quiet and animals are mostly hiding.
We walk; we witness.

A cell phone can't see what you do.

Even a small cave rat is cautious.

 

         A short night walk.

Everything changes in the fire air.

A lady is coming back from walking her small dog. "Makes me want

to get down on my knees" she says. "Could be the end, you know?"

What will we learn from all these fires?

Twilight Time

The last night of July 2018 . . .

The twilight sunset lasts only minutes and changes as we

drink it in. We should know that we can't hold beauty forever.

In reverie an old song from The Platters plays in our mind.

Can you hear it? 

Twilight Time

The Platters

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way, I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way, I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time
