At the End of Day

Mid afternoon overhead sun retreats heading west to bring comfort and solace trail of red embers as horizons meet darkening skies such a treat so flawless, birds sing their evening songs and lullabies daytime temperature becomes subdued yet natures great beauty never denies delightful images not devalued, our exhausted day falls into slumber she pulls her dark quilt studded with sequins over her head with precision lumber twilight fades as her next shift now begins, dusk prevails now in her shadowy room encourage plants, trees to exhale perfume. 7/26/2018
