Some evening skies seem to wear a crown of their own. These three photographs inspired a short reflection on the changing shapes of cloud and light as day drifts into twilight.

Two Crowns
Eventide
The sun is settling down
behind the horizon’s heliotrope clouds
draped in ribbons of golden brown
Twilight Time
the clouds are drifting down
over the horizon’s terraced treetops
cloaked by the corpulent sky’s chunky crown
Beyond Time
Nature’s wonders are our world’s comfy eiderdown
surrounding the horizon’s mystical realm:
there endures the planet’s glorious crown
Some crowns are worn for a moment, others endure beyond time. The beauty of our world asks for nothing more than to be noticed.

Lovely poem, Ivor. I saw two fans, and then it occurred to me that birds are lucky to have their own built-in fans to cool them in the hot weather! Thank you for joining in, Ivor. 🙂
