A Sunset

Along the shore a red feathered sunset As the sun falls into amber silence To leave the day's beautiful epithet The eyes turn peaceful in compliance Shall I stay until the coming of night And know that time is the birthing of dawn Holding close dying pictures of splayed light On the weathered shore I now stand upon To find beauty and see it quietly To be part of the moment when it's shown Allow a pause and enter silently And stand with elegance in jeweled tone To be cradled by awe under the sky And feel its passing with a deeper sigh 6/28/14
