Sunset
Even though I’m more or less due north of San Diego, southern Idaho is on Mountain Time. For that matter, Mountain Time (in the US) extends 60 miles west into Oregon. Nevada to the south is on Pacific Time as is northern Idaho. So sunset is an hour later than it would be considering our longitude (near 117W).
God rays.
So is everybody around there confused? holy crap.
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
See it with your eyes, Earth re-energised
By the sun’s rays everyday
Take a look out there, planets everywhere
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound
Fading away in the sunset
Night has now become day for everyone
I can see it all
From this great height
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on
Through the night
Twilight time, to dream awhile
In veils of deepening blue
As fantasy strides over colourful skies
The form disappearing from view
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase
Of notes that are rich and so true
An aerial display by the firefly brigade
Dancing to tunes no one knew
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
Building castles in the air
Whistling to the wind
As nature bows down her head
See what tomorrow brings
Bats take to wing like puppets on string
Prancing through cool evening air
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun’s blinding stare
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile…

So beautiful, DT. Thank you!
Dang, dude. Southwest Idaho is like the the Rub al Khali, like the Arizona Strip. Nobody lives there, and there’s a whole lot of nothing. And if nothing and nobody is your kind of place, well then there you are.
Here I is …. 🙂
