Notes About The Poem

Image result for beautiful pictures of dusk

Dusk

Beneath the darkening of clouds, dusk creeps,
touching the horizon of a placid periwinkle sea.
Blue waters caress a craggy shore as light
drenches earth's floor - a wilderness -
with utter brilliance.
Crimson, persimmon and vibrant green shrubbery
shine beneath the sky 
as sun surrenders to its twilight fate.
Before sun sets, I bathe 
in the beauty I behold.
