A special welcome to returning and new visitors to the NESTER!
Almost every day of this sunny summer and fall has closed with stunning sunsets and tropical warmth. Those evenings inspired Lorelie to create this “Day’s End” post featuring a painting, photographs, and poems.
Lorelie had specific criteria for the selections in “Day’s End”. Each “page” features a different location and includes sky, water and trees. The pages have varied perspectives. Views of trees, for instance, are close-up and and on distant mountain slopes.
Lorelie chose the pictures before I selected the accompanying poems. In keeping with our FOR THE EARTH posts, the focus of the poems is on the interactions of the poet with nature.
“Day’s End” captures those moments when each day closes before the coming of darkness.

My Favorite Time of Day
As if a sheer shawl floats down to close Day, comes dusk.
A poet friend says light ebonizes into night.
What is turns to what was,
what is seen, now dim or dark.
The change in light is palpable,
Not loss, yet a leaving.
Tomorrows stir inside us beside todays.
Repeat.

Merging Nature
Silhouette sunset
Burning from day into night
Mid summer feeling

Golden Sun Descending
Golden sun descends
warmth lingers in autumn air
gratitude lingers

Still Picture
quiet dusk settles
a brief scene without movement
still picture with breath
Heide Sands
Monochrome
dusk whispers, night falls,
shadows stretch across the sky-
days’ breath vanishes
dawn’s silent embrace
cradles the fragile and bold
a promise of hope
