Visons of a Sunset

My son took those fantastic pics back in 2007 when he was 13. They immediately reminded me of the song, "Visions of a Sunset" by Shawn Stockman. (Sorry I can't paste them together.)



Journaling:
“Mom, can I borrow your camera?” Amani asked one November evening. “The sky looks so cool,” he added. I let him use my camera and he came back inside, obviously pleased with the results. It wasn’t until I received the package of photos back form the developer that I was as pleased as Amani was. The developer asked where the photos were taken, thinking I had been on a vacation. I told him that they were taken in front of our house. These photos immediately made me think of Shawn Stockman’s song, “Visions of a Sunset.” Beautiful visions aren’t always the norm in this neck of the woods. I’m just glad that Amani was there to capture this one.

Visions of a sunset just appear when
I close my eyes
Takes me closer to heaven when the
Flute starts to fly
And the violin cries
