Quietly stop wherever you are and listen
To the sounds of the earth
Falling sleep.
Gradually, gradually the birds, the animals, the insects, the plants, and even the sky
Say Good Night!—as they drift off into the land of dreams.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Sunset! Stunningly beautiful! I had to twirl around and around in it’s light!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm
When I see the fleeting beauty of sun-colored clouds or the golden light of the morning or evening sun
When the golden sunlight picks up the Canada Geese or the Sandhill Cranes wings flash through the clouds or the colors of their feathers as they feed in the fields
As the sun sets ever so gradually, yet swiftly, It feels like the day only lasts for a short time, then winks out to begin again the next day.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I find the setting of the sun
Causing dusk to deepen into night something extra special.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
OH! That beautiful sinking sun
The clouds gently clearing
Filling the sky with impossible colors; phenomenal and intense!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The sun has been seen so rarely all this late fall, winter, and now early spring
That when we do have it we are over-wrought with
Immense joy.
I would like to hang onto the joy of the sun. Instead, we have the diaphanous sheen of pearly grey.
Sigh.

There—- right there
Painted in vivid gold
Was a golden ray of Sunshine breaking forth from the setting sun
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The graceful (thick with moisture) clouds
Moving quickly together in rather jubilant rays of the setting sun
Gave way to a beautiful cloud-covered moon
Complete with a sparkling ring of moisture
The moon sharply swallowed by the clouds.
The quietness of the night came down softly, inviting all to drowsiness.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
The Contrast of Evening Sun on showers in the canyons
The very strong line of shadow and light
Night rising up on the land–defining the last light in the sky
Big fat rain clouds—- sunlight through the old apricot tree
Sunrise dressing the earth with Morning
Dusk filled with brilliance
Even the wind, in all its amazing power; lifting the soil into the air— gifts us with a refreshing of sorts.
Each and every moment of our full 24-hour day gives us so much—so many things of contrast, so many types of varying gifts they are too numerous to count.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The Flames of mighty truths
The Large and Vibrant Whispers
Of an Arch Angel’s Glittering, and gossamer spell casting deep shadows on the land.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
