Sun played its last tune among yellow flowers.
Yesterday's shadow overtakes the field.
Dusk lays its burden down on old tin roofs.
Soundlessness is a song profoundly blue.
The smoke of supper fires is welcome now.
It warms the windowpanes with wests firelight.
Such brightness is a catalyst for verse
That talks a little winter with the earth.

Thus, blue be the waking of another day's sunset falling....and profound be the apropos description of the above work, young lass! Captively resplendent... as its imagery serves as a poetics paradigm in absolute. Sandra, you da' Gal! ~ FjR ~
I tried to choose a favorite line. I can't find one. Every line is powerful and gripping. It would be a shame to choose one for the other.
'Soundlessness is a song profoundly blue.' The lyrical quality amongst your words resonates deeply Sandra. Love the reflective tone, the images and the subtle contrasts in this emotive word painting. Justine x
The picture you paint with your words is truly beautiful, the melancholy felt in that dusk and soundlessness to the vivid picture of the smoke from those welcoming supper fires leading to the warmth of reflection. Thank you Sandra. Hugs, Diane
