Quote by Delia Owens

“Fading moon, follow my footsteps through light unbroken by land shadows, and share my senses that feel the cool shoulders of silence. Only you know how one side of a moment is stretched by loneliness for miles to the other edge, and how much sky is in one breath when time slides backward from the sand.”

“Sunsets are never simple. Twilight is refracted and reflected but never true. Eventide is a disguise covering tracks, covering lies. We don't care that dusk deceives. We see brilliant colors, and never learn the sun has dropped beneath the earth by the time we see the burn. Sunsets are in disguise, covering truths, covering lies.”

“Broken Gull of Brandon Beach Winged soul, you danced the skies, and startled dawn with shrilling cries. You followed sails and braved the sea, then caught the wind back to me. You broke your wing; it dragged the land and etched your mark upon the sand. When feathers break, you cannot fly, but who decides the time to die? You disappeared, I know not where. But your wings-marks still linger there. A broken heart cannot fly, But who decides the time to die?”

“You came again, blinding my eyes like the shimmer of sun upon the sea. Just as I feel free the moon casts your face upon the sill. Each time I forget you, your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still. And so farewell until the next time you come, until at last I do not see you.”

“The Firefly Luring him was as easy as flashing valentines. But like a lady firefly they hid a secret call to die. A final touch, unfinished; the last step, a trap. Down, down he falls, his eyes still holding mine until they see another world. I saw them change. First a question, then an answer, finally an end. And love itself passing to whatever it was before it began.”
