Every day
the sun gets old,
enfeebled, dwindling,
softens hold
and quits the world
with liquid light,
deferring to silver
suns of night.

That’s beautiful. I must say, it’s happening later now, sometimes I’m not awake ti see the transition.

Thanks, Dan. I understand — the days often last longer than I do now. But sometimes I catch that wonderful evening light.

We’re getting ready to have a heat wave for several days. The sun is going to strut its stuff here. 🙂 Hope you aren’t in the 90’s with high humidity. 🙂

My sympathies! We are headed into a week or so of soggy 80s — rain and more rain. I wish we could send some west. Your looming days of 90s sound wretched. I bet you’ll be up and out in the garden painfully early!

We are going into a heat advisory, and you are right, I do my chores early and then stay inside.

Oh, no. Do be careful!

Very evocative. I like the way the picture matches the poem too – the sunset colours of the impatiens and the silvery buds of lavender.

Thanks. I often marvel at the light at the end of the day. I think that “evocative” actually describes it.

Drat! I keep forgetting to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed “Maverick Gardeners”! Some laugh-out-loud moments, some things to take very seriously, and some surprises at seeing something or someone I think I’ve seen before! That was fun! Please relay to the author my admirations!

He’s grateful for your kind words and I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
