Dusk Ends the Day

I watch as late afternoon begins the decay Fading into shadows, dusk ends the day Sky lightens into the palest of blues Drifts to mauves and shell pink hues The bush sinks heavily in its cloak of green Mysteriously deep, dark and serene Stillness in a thick tangibly silent wall No sound, no wind, there's nothing at all An awareness of Earth as day is done We rest quietly together, and we are One When life is delicately poised like this..... My heart overflows with great joy and bliss
