Just finished writing a chapter in the new book, going to bed now (finally tired).
But for you who come later (as in the dawning!) This to remind you that at the end of this day, you can find time to reflect on it and find a measure of peace.
As Evening Falls
As the sun sets in quiet splendor,
I wait in silence, upon the moor
Listening to the thrush sing sweet,
fading light on the path for my feet
On to hearth and home I go
the way, my heart does know
The quiet of the night so soft,
does memories set drift aloft
Upon the breeze, I hear Faerie tunes
sung in gentle flow, under a silver moon
The heart it skips in time, happy at last
away slips the hard times into the past
I sit by the fire and think of the day
things done and not, the price we pay
another link in the chain of life
a moment’s peace from all the strife
