Eternal Gold Sunset

Eternal gold sunset 
Nearer to heaven than the flowers
Buds rising, trying to get there

A temperate complexion
the untrimmed garden
faeries have taken possession

Will they lease 
Or are they here to stay forever?
I seek some shade while I ponder the climate

Faeries climb upon my legs and giggle.
My eyes remain closed
I do not want to ruin this.

It was enjoyable to try to "stay on task" which has not been required of me for two months.
