Departing Sun

Honed from old habits, you leave us once again Leaving again, the way of lovers departing... Oh, departing sun, you linger in the dusk In dusky mauve, so reluctant to say goodbye Goodbye you speak in many tongues Forked tongues of light, you spread your words in gold And with a golden hand, and fingers spread You spread your promise, vast against the sky Where sky, that mingles with the crimson earth Unite the earth and thee to blend You blend, and lend your colors rich.... Rich in soft pastels, ...until,....until you come again ___________________________________________________ Inspired by the Contest: "Wreath on the Flavor of Dusk" Sponsored by Nette Onclaud By Carrie Richards 8/12/12
