Late afternoon and it’s been hot
A day out of the heat.
A gentle breeze suggests cool.
We sit at my back fence,
Watch as the day ebbs away.
The sun slides behind the distant gums
Holding hands, we chat, take in the peace
Afforded us by the end of day.

That had a feeling of calm and contentment.
Thank you Lyn, mission accomplished and its like that most days down there…
Most definitely tranquility.
It certainly is
There is serenity in the comfortable closeness of a hand-held as sun turns to stars.
There is indeed…
And your backyard looks like the perfect spot for such tranquility and hand-holding, if I might be so bold.
I would like to think so…
