Telling the Truth

connecting the dots of my life

day dies quietly

by Elouise

day dies quietly
shadows bring the curtain down
my heart relaxes
falling into its soft bed
night gathers up leftovers

The remains of the day? Maybe. I love this time of day with its invitation to take a deep breath and exhale. Stop and rest a while. Which is exactly what I’m going to do. Right now.

I just love that picture and you have picked it well. Sorry I Haven’t been in touch for a while. I have moved from Melbourne to Ballarat and it was quite a wrench.

  Thank you, John. I’ve missed coming over to see you for too many days. I’m sorry to hear about your move, especially because it was difficult. I’ll be over to visit, though I’d much rather knock on your door and give you a smile or two! 🙂
