I am one tired puppy tonight and I am soooooo looking forward to the weekend. I have no specific plans…just to be! After a busy, hectic, exhausting week…I think that ‘no plan’ is the best plan. Although…I do hope to get in some writing time, and I would like to go to the shooting range for a couple of hours, and I need to clean out my closet, the carpet could use a good shampooing, I am in bad need of a pedicure, I should call my parents, the windows need washing, the car needs cleaned out, the oven is filthy…like I said…no real plans for the weekend!
I like to walk in the evenings, and this evening as we were coming down the street (in the home stretch), God provided a glorious encouragement on the horizon…a beautiful sunset! No other palette in the universe can compare with His.
Silently...
The day surrendered,
It's benefactor sank slowly in the west,
Rivers of rich pigment flowed in all directions,
Coral, Tangerine, Lilac, and Saffron currents
Drained into the horizon.
Gradually...
The brilliant hues dissolved,
Beautiful memories
Captured by the mind's eye.
An ebony sea
Engulfed the heavens,
Tiny diamonds sparkled overhead
As night became the victor.
