Evening Solitude

Dusk descends upon the snowy winter plains The sun slowly sinks into the western sky The landscape has a magical winter-land glow White in contrast to the dusty blue hue Deer stand grazing on the fields of straw Once golden wheat stood tall in summers heat Now short and covered with white winter dust Looking heaven ward the sky is aglow As if someone took a paint brush to a canvas Red, oranges, purple, blue and golden amber So colorful that it looks like a piece of art As the sun finally sunk behind earth's orb I sat in wonder watching nature at it's best. 11/17/12
