Evening Light Quotes

“As the wind bears the leaves aloft,
In the gentle evening light, the day goes soft,
The end approaches with a tender pace.

Swallows trace their final flight,
Shadows lengthen, time slips by in quiet light,
A growing longing in the human race.

Like the lilac by the garden's side,
Silent eternity bends wide,
Reaching down to the cool earth’s place.

In this stillness, spreading clear,
Summer lingers briefly here,
Before it goes away with you.”
― Laura Chouette
