“The Gloaming 2” by Randall David Tipton
deer emerge from the wood
wrens return to the nest
sensing wisely the safety
afforded by purpling sunset
when eyes of the predator
carry the least trace of trust
shadows gather like families
drinking the cool air of gloaming
that hour of graceful transition
a time to take stock mark the
blessings of nature detached from
the stresses of human-made life
EYE just watched a North American Flicker at My Stone Wall, fly to a branch of scrub spruce where Its Mate was waiting.

I love “purpling sunset”. I feel the peace of the animals settling into themselves – a gift we humans seem to have lost these days.
