"Dusk's Delight"
Watercolor & embroidery on linen
20" x 20"
 
When skies darken and shadows lengthen,
The breeze cools and whispers through the trees
 
When things slow
And hush 
Preparing for respite, for rest 
When we lay our head on our lovers shoulder
Sigh and sink into the stillness 
Drinking in the deep hues of a day lived and ending
 
We made it something in you whispers 
We made it through another day 
Full of the chest aching love and light and struggle that comes with being human 
That comes with being alive 
 
What a delight there is in dusk
What a sweetness in honoring the day is done
For as light fades to darkness, we know it will soon turn into a tomorrow 
Both a prayer, and a promise.
