A Farewell At Dusk

Pink Sahara in the sky; clouds are dunes of sand. I am watching shadows play right into my hand. Farewell, light of day. Sky, a painted desert rose, slowly fades away

This is Jaw Dropping, wow so many different styles in this contest must of been difficult to judge. All I have read so far are great poems. I might have had a first place tie for at least half of them. A HUGE FAV.
