"In her starry shade of dim and solitary loveliness, I learn the language of another world."~ Lord Byron



embers

riveting light

the intensity of embers
burning a hole in the fabric of night

like the stars
those radiant cinders scattered across the emptiness
remnants of some great calamity long ago (all but forgotten)
that vaguely we try to understand

on this night
warm and maternal
for an hour next to the embers
I listen to their riddles

Images taken during a mid-September sunset

Beautiful! Was that done with a filter or was that the ambient light?

This was completely thanks to the mid-September light. Fortunately the Cape is famous for it! Thanks for the comment :)
