twilight’s hush ripples over the lough
leaving only the rush of young waves
that have come from afar to kiss this shore
and offer watery bliss to the weather-beaten rocks
that wait blushing under the watchful eye
of streetlamps

Beautiful, Marion…Strong, visual and atmospheric, then that lovely twist…
And I love your painting..XX
Thank you, Barbara – yes despite the natural light coming from the sky, everyone who has seen the painting has commented on the way the stones are lit up – that’s good old council streetlighting for you! 🙂
Just gorgeous Marion! Thoroughly alive. Great ending!
I can only verify what others have said here. Beautiful painting and beautiful words , put together perfectly.
