Last evening’s coppery sunset is reflected this morning in the whistle of a freight that echos & re“echos” thru a million misty valleys – Nothing stirs the imagination as much – A stagnant day – silver haze – smeary grey sky – My thoughts seem to flow along with the weather –
With the night comes rain –
