Cameoed against close of day
horses' shadows stretch
upon evening tide's gentle cleansing
of field and grove.
I close my calendar,
honor this candlelight hour
when birdsong settles
and Primrose awaits her Sphinx.

* a night pollinator, the sphinx moth pollinates Evening Primroses. I also took artistic liberty as primroses aren't quite blooming yet - I believe they start in June and July - maybe May but not sure.
My pencil has been quite busy filling my calendar in these days - year-end school performances & commitments - not to mention trying to stay on track to finish up homeschooling my youngest two by the end of May - AND prepare for our household move to the mountains come mid-June. I apologize for not visiting and commenting on your blogs as much as I like.

Your candlelight hours poem is sooo inviting, Margaret. I believe I will wait here with Primrose. Nice picture too, I like horses. Currently I have a 'rescue horse' on my other blog.

You are always a wizard when it comes to capturing the perfect snap.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you captured that moment.. When night slowly settles in is the perfect moment to live.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful your words are -- there is magic in your candlelight hour. And the video of primroses blooming is exquisite. Gave me a moment of peace. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI like how shadows stretch in the candlelight hour. Good luck burning the candle at both ends, as you may be tempted to do in your upcoming deadlines...take care of yourself
