GOLDEN SUN DESCENDING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
golden sun descends
warmth lingers in autumn air
gratitude lingers
*WHISPERS OF THE WIND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fiery skies ablaze
sunset's final, fleeting glance
day's last, burning breath
whispers of the wind
through the trees, a gentle voice
a gentle goodnight
Look at us catching the sunset together
With some light talk to get us going
Nothing but nature and sheer tranquillity
And a nice glass of chardonnay
If you ask me what the occasion
I'd say we're celebrating life
And we should do it more often
Cause we don't get great sunsets like this
For we are always on the move
At times when you're catching a sunset
I'm out there catching a breath
Cause my day is barely over and I can't get home
That's why I'd want to take this moment all in
To enjoy that sweet fragrance
'Cause the streets can be suffocating
And it's hard to go fast in a crowd
At this moment tomorrow is a distant place
Yesterday is a messy place
Today is pacing by
But presently, memories are all I picture
The PO£T
Do you think of me
When you see the sun setting
Me, you, together
Created from a single rib, to complete its creation and her body covers all of humanity yet her seed gets covered with soil.
Her gifts are many but many forget, only blooming with love and fully uncovers through character.
Sunset comes earlier each day as the season turns to fall,
Harvest time soon will end and colder days embrace us all.
NIGHT WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun sets in the sky with a strong orange color similar to that of one of Aunt Maudie’s tangerine jellies. It remains visible above the horizon, overseeing the earth. Evening begins, a period marked by quieter thoughts and relaxation. I notice the arrival of the autumnal breeze, absorbing myself in the sounds of locusts and crickets and allowing nature to wash over me.
tangerine hues dance
in the sky, a fiery blaze
night whispers ‘hello’
cloudless sky in blue
the rising sun is half-shown
coloring the sea
sun setting on my daydreams

autumn rolled in like honey
how we loved savouring those warm sunsets
sweet together memories of romance

the air is changing
summer cracked open the door-
to greet fall splendor
Charm of Nature
So lovely are rainbow hues in the sky,
Nature`s masterpiece as the day goes by
As the clouds above mountains become shy
As light rain from heaven drips by and by;
So smooth are the whispers of the soft breeze
Blowing through the cluster of verdant trees,
So gentle the way spring wind sways the leaves
Amidst the sweet scent of honey from bees;
So enchanting are sparrows` mornings songs
As they hop from branch to branch all along,
As they cross forest trees where they belong
And flutter freely in the air day long;
So gorgeous is sunset on silent seas
That does bestow to the heart so much glee,
Confers to the mind feel of being free
And pervades the spirit with joyful spree;
So delightful is nature`s charm,
So vast is the stretch of its arm
Like a rainbow across the sky,
A stunning vista to the eye.
SILENT WITNESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the sun, a molten coin, descends,
and he, a shadow lengthening,
holds his breath.
he feels the earth turn,
a slow, relentless dance,
and wonders of his place within the spin.
the sky bleeds crimson, then bruised purple,
and he, suspended between light and dark,
is neither here nor there,
but simply is,
a silent witness
to the fading day.
Sunset
sultry saffron sunset
Of greatest fears sunset with hard tears
For a young lass too soon to pass
Sweet without guile her fresh sweet smile,
Make no mistake, saw holy dawn break.
