In autumn, a week before we turn clocks back an hour, evening light is brief. Working outside I face blinding rays of setting sun. Finally, after the sun sinks below the horizon, there is a pleasant surprise.
Best evening light
when sun has finally set
slow fade to darkness

Lovely poem Janice. I do so agree about this twilight, my mother had a beautiful word for it but it doesn’t translate too well – silent dark – . She often lit a candle and we sat talking quietly until dark fell.

Sounds beautiful Miriam. I have spent so many years in the city with no yard or balcony … now in the country and with more time to be outside I love tuning in to these simple pleasures.

That’s a coincidence, Janice – my haiku for today is about morning light and yours is about evening light – bookends! I love that slow fade to darkness.

Our poems are bookends and their subjects are now so far apart (lengthening nights) ☀️🍁
