where shadows sweep
water's edge
darkness gentles
down and the forest accepts
a blanket at sunset

hush of quiet
among the silhouettes
sheen of reflection upon the lake
and curling mist caresses
the St. Lawrence

yoke of sun recedes
reluctantly passes away
to dream and sleep once more
till dawn.

Beginning to read more of your tales RLP. I liked this, peace and tranquillity indeed. And what a name " Riviere De Loup "

Thank you too, ScoZen. This is a little town by the St. Lawrence River. And sunsets and sunrises give me a real high. Chimo, from Richard LP

Isn't writing fun, insertponceyfre...? I keep delving deeply into words which express the beauty of the land, this glorious Canada. Nature is definitely God's gift to us. Sincerely, Richard LP
