Thursday Poem - At the Door of Night

at the door of night, my mirrored
pond holds the setting sun like a jewel
and all the herons homeward go,
backlighted against the trees

upon the shore we three stand
watching rapt, as the thousand
things that formed this day
are folding inward slowly

There are no words
to describe the
beauty of this image
and words....

"...at the door of night." I love that phrase. Stunning photo... Your jewel of a poem reminds me of the eldering process - "folding inwards slowly..." You are amazing!

My head is turned by ease of the words as they travel straight to my heart.

My spirit says yes, yes, yes. This is how it feels to view the splendid beauty of our home, the mother earth.

Thank you for sharing by word and sight, the best beauty.
