Sunset in A Bottle

If you could capture

                sunset in a bottle

would you share it

          with all the world to see

   could you put it on a shelf 

          & keep it for yourself

   should we share the trappings

 within a smile

planting seeds of hope

          to sprout a miracle

     if we graciously captured

               sunset in a bottle

We had the most amazing sunset the other evening, so much so the Kid was like, "What is that in the sky?" It was the sun, obviously *laugh* but it looked so cool. Dark orange and hung low...you could look right at it and not hurt your eyes. This reminded me of that.

Sorry I missed this one the kimmer, that sounds lovely, and *laugh* the Kid...

[KAOlmsted]

No worries ;-)

Beauty is poignant in this simple yet beautiful poem. I love it, very pretty and the rhyme scheme gives it that playful undertone. Exquisite, Frieda. Exquisite.

You keep changing your identity sweet Maddie, you're confusing the heck out of me....! Thanks so much hun. xo

Haha I'm sorry, I get another idea for a name/picture, and voila! At least I sign my name at the bottom for you, dear! Always welcome, Frieda. xoxo

Jim Croce would like this, I think. I can almost hear a few chords being played, to find the right "feel."
Warm thoughts, this one.

[Frieda P]

Glad you got 'warm' thoughts, sending more your way Michael.

[Michael G.]

Much appreciated. I can always use the warmth.

very nice image to see the sun in a bottle..i think it was better if you have chosen somthing bigger than a bottle but i know you have chosen this image to show the impossibility of doing that. anyways, thanks to god, nobody can put the sun in a bottle and keep it for themselves..i would be living in darkness right now..

[Frieda P]

ha I didn't choose it, I came upon that picture and it moved me...very true, if it could be bottled we'd probably all be in trouble, thanks for your thoughts khalid...

[Frieda P]
