Calm Water, Fading Light

“Calm Water, Fading Light”
“Nacreous pearl light swam faintly about the hem of the lilac darkness; the edges of light and darkness were stitched upon the hills. Morning moved like a pearl-gray tide across the fields and up the hillflanks, flowing rapidly down into the soluble dark.” (‘Look Homeward, Angel’ – Thomas Wolfe)

Found that Thomas Wolfe quote a couple of weeks ago while searching for another quote of his.
Your picture brought it immediately to mind so I retraced my threads and found it to pass along.
I hope you love it too, as I do your picture.

RE: Photoshop vs. Word:
You know, if a picture is worth 1000 words, you’ve only 996 to go.
Or, 96 makes a drabble.
For our Immortal Beloveds, The Black Pearl and her roving captain?
96 words for you;
Dreaming, he flew across the Atlantic. He could see the light on the waters, and his own dear ship abreasting the waves like the swan she was. Sunset gilded her black decks; he longed to set foot on them again, to lay down upon the quarterdeck, feel the warmth that the sun had left in her wooden body.
Then — gone, and Jack Sparrow woke to that familiar sense of loss.
Slowly, his surroundings came into focus; the cabin of the Black Pearl, his once more. That damned vision — Might it fade, given ten more year’s time?
Re: 96 words for you + 4 from me = a drabble betwixt us
Thank you, dear Stella.
