From Evening To Dark

Rowing boat, in silent river The wind walked, slow and old The sky, orange, shines on the river, Evening sky, on an evening mirror Birds fly, among the clouds Crickets start, slow now loud Orange sky, now gone, The Dark Moon rises up, as the whole world rests, The crickets won't The stars shine, The river reflects

such beautiful imagery, Arastu. You captured the transition from evening to dark so well. The first couple of lines grabbed my attention. I like being in a boat on a river or lake when nighttime falls. A lovely creation! Sara

Ahh, the imagery is purely blissful here! You've beautifully illustrated the magical essence of orange skies slowly drifting towards night.. "The sky, orange, shines on the river" And the river reflecting this process.. So mesmerizing and gorgeous, enjoying reading this :)
