Fiona Summerville

As Night Falls Hushed Fiona Summerville

Welcome to the Outer Banks...

You've discovered a place
where time finally waits
for you to catch up.

A place
were serenity dares you to remember
what it's like to breathe
...really breathe
as you fall with a sigh
under the ancient spell of travelers past
whispered on the wind and carried on gull wings

A place
where nature conspires to create
a majesty of days
more precious than the ones before
as a ribbon of fire
splits ocean from sky
and you find yourself
lost in the wonder
of the serendipitous kiss of fate
that beckoned you to these shores.

****************************
Lose yourself, if only for a few minutes at a time, in the magical place known as the Outer Banks. A place nature and all her wild beauty reign. A place the shore birds and dolphins join those intrepid few who wake before the dawn, so they might greet her fire with a groggy smile and a hot, steaming cup of hope. A place steeped in so much beauty, history and lore it captured the imagination and heart of the author and she turned it into poetry.

Accompany her as she shares her vision of the magic and majesty she found along those shores in words and photographs.

Who knows...perhaps after spending time with Fiona within the pages of As Night Falls Hushed, you'll find yourself falling in love with, and longing to visit the place she lovingly refers to as her home away from home.
