Sunset

April 29, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

With the waning, the closing of the day I fight to hold onto the dying light Watching sun burn quiet into a star Strength fading from hot white to cold black night Lost in transformation, my faith is found In tranquil treasures of a changing sky Gradients radiance burst hopes aglow Rusted, reborn, recast, regenerates…

Inspiration

Inspiration3

Misshapen pearls Cast as lovers’ notes Upon the water’s tapestry A baroque palette of sound Paints romance On chorded waves.   Indeed, J.S. Bach never sounded better in my life. A moment captured for a lifetime. A lifetime lived in a moment. All text and images © Dale Schierbeck See more of others’ submissions to…
