I love to watch the burning clouds
sizzling in the sky,
brilliant with their red and golds
as daylight says goodbye.
Stark and dark are branches
of tall trees against the glow.
Such a wonderful farewell,
that solar evening show.
Pinks and purples mingle
as the sunlight slips away,
viewed through branchy curtains
at the closing of the day.
Against this blazing glory
one little bird outlined,
flying through this wonderland
a roosting place to find.
How the river catches
threads of gold and crimson red
which gently kiss its surface
as our sun goes to its bed.
As the beauty fades away
into the jet of night
I feel I'm so much richer for
experiencing the sight.
Thanx for the awesome poem. You have a very comfortable way of brining the reader to your sunset.
