"Flowers" by Eugene Delacroix

the blush of pink
softly
washes o’er the garden
as the summer sun is
{{{whispering}}}
her goodbye
and
the night
arrives
late bringing
the moon with
a sprinkling of stars
finally
wrapping
its arms
gently
across the lands and seas

Ah what a temperate sunset with day softly easing to evening. You make me yearn for softer climes when our days settle late and steamy and the night sinks in steamy heat as hot as day but murkier. I can feel your stardust and it feels young and “in love”. Thanks, Gay

thank you, Jessi! ♥ this week was rather more of a challenge for me, but once i found the stunning image it all fell into place. i can’t wait to see what you create!
oh what a lovely evening mood you paint with your words – the blush of pink..lovely
thank you, Claudia! ♥ the photograph and color prompt of pink came together in my mind as sunset ~ the flowers in the stunning painting seemed more tinted by a sunset than their actual colors. i do so appreciate you visiting and commenting! ♥

I had a night in our garden just like this. Love your thoughts.

I dig how delicate this poem is, like if I breathed on it, it would blow away into the atmosphere. Excellent! :D
