A captured click of a shutter; soft sounds sought down river banks filled with the lapping water whisks on the salad bowls of life. Your retreat from the night fills my life with the hues on the river soft clouds reflections of days going bye with the ducks paddle ripples. I rise and have purpose to invite the day to retreat from the night. So very much appreciate your positive poetry.

I heard this as music. Its own flow as honest as truth recognized.

Under night's veil, a retreat beckons - each breath by the river's edge weighted with anticipation, like a loaded gun's pause. Press not forward; instead, step back into shadow's embrace, vanishing like the wary coyote.

Reversal is not capitulation but can be a calm and deliberate falling back. The changing line returns good fortune.

There’s definitely a gorgeous cinematic quality to the video, that allows retreat to rest in it. Gorgeous, Jonathan!

The quiet evening sounds reminds me of places Ive been and the solitude of the evening sunset. The birds are enjoying the quiet.
