“Softly the evening came with the sunset.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Fire So Soft The sun, now tired, slowly declined, but desired to paint a masterpiece, brushing a glow that kissed the river's silken skin with fire so soft it burned beauty into such a feeling where words of meaning were meaningless, could never be offered as pale praise and were quietly swallowed in favour of receiving, knowing there was nothing I could add. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Ah, but your words do such justice.

A descending sun can have multiple interpretations, but those few moments when a silky river appears to swallow the sun can leave us breathless and speechless. 🌅
