A Day's Purple Adieu

I looked out to a purple sky.
Day's sweet goodbye; I had to sigh.
The mountains shone with radiance of
the sun's last rays; I felt God's love
in all the beauty I could see
and summer's warmth embracing me.

G'day Andrea … a nice verse for a balmy summers evening. Right now we have 41 degrees Celsius (106F) with a very hot wind. It's stifling - thank you Andrea - Lindsay

This has such a 'feel-good factor', Andrea and envelopes the reader in its warm sentiment.
