I saw the day lean o'er the world's sharp edge,
And peer into night's chasm, dark and damp.
High in his hand he held a blazing lamp,
Then dropped it, and plunged headlong down the ledge.
With lurid splendor that swift paled to gray,
I saw the dim skies suddenly flush bright.
'Twas but the expiring glory of the light
Flung from the hand of the adventurous day.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Sunset

Where ships of purple gently toss
On seas of daffodil,
Fantastic sailors mingle,
And then - the wharf is still.
Emily Dickinson, Sunset

To sunset water quivering in a blush
Appeals the glory of the sunset sky
Down gazing - an imploring conqueror -
With eyes that love to eyes awakening.
Ruby Archer, Sunset

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I really do like the results of this one John, it kind of reminds me of looking through window blinds and looking at a jungle. tigs=^..^=

Nice poems all of them here. Your image shows that bright light fading into total darkness. - like the empty wharf where busy and loud loading/discharging turned to silence and emptiness - ship gone and people gone.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Thought provoking work and a fine narrative to accompany it.

This looks like the sun, and all the various locations it has recently smiled upon, captured some pictures and is now streaming them through your very modern set of window blinds...very different and creative, John.

The colors are remarkable, your art, your words, your music that you introduce to us, you are an original, and you have given us new ideas, philosophy and thoughts that add to our knowledge of life on this planet. Favorite.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
