Into the Sunset

As sundown bares her rhinestone- hair Turning meadows green to wavy gold, Lattice of blooms swirl beyond compare Mild the air's hum, slumber for the soul. The rays float in tranquil repose While winds clutch her glint that beholds; An owl swooping in circled rows When night of prayer touches stars. Come sunset, rest your hands with life All lovers trace their young, red years, Man and wife forget heat of strife And linger after beams dip, farewell!

Beautiful images that linger like the last light of the day. I love the image of the owl swooping, it is my favorite bird.

this is beautiful. I got confused when I went to post mine and saw she had a requirement that we call it into the Sunlight. I hope that was just a typo she did, but I went ahead and used her title.
