impatient for dusky skies
to glow amethyst

Your haiku tells me they are on the West coast, and I can see the sky turning to color. Very nice.

Peace.

the other night driving home due east around sunset.. glorious is all i can say.. i kept on looking out my windows, the rear view mirrors to catch the sight... talk about heavenly.. i love the photo of expectant red chairs... and yr ku the words explore a whole other side i would not have experienced the inanimate animated....

It is a wonderful idea, the concept of empty, expectant chairs allowing one to imagine their occupants and the life each leads, thinking of sunset and its resplendent colors. It is lovely. Nice contrasts too.

Ooooh! I would like to be with you to capture the changing light, and it's effects, as 'ms pie' so observantly put it 'the expectant chairs'. The privilege of noticing is all ours! affecting the emotions!

Thanks for words and image.

"Is anybody sitting here?"
(Polite amd hilarious middle-class British English phrase for saying:
"Is this seat taken?")
Red going to amethyst...now there's hope of fireworks.

Awaiting the twilight light,between daylight and darkness, to be smudged by a dark velvet night!! Lucky chairs get to see it all :)

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
