The day is done. Travel dispersed, no more roaming. Between dusk and sunset, it’s the gloaming. I settle to watch, inspired by that instant moment, When day gives over to night a regal bestowment. Lights begin to shimmer, as we near twilight. Across the horizon created a radiant glow so bright. This magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue. Detailing an exquisite hefty crimson etched in view. Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight. Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight. Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold, As night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold. Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, flickers a scent. Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy by intent. With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone. I am nestled snugly, captivated by joy I've never known. Capturing my imagination of a candle in glorious blaze, My breath extinguishing it to create the dark night haze.

VS, The exquisite transition from dusk to sunset, adorned with an array of vivid hues, is akin to a splendid work of art. Your poem, dear friend, is truly extraordinary! It captivates the reader with its sheer descriptive power, devoid of any narrative. Undoubtedly, it is a precious gem, radiating its profound message with utmost brilliance.

I hoped you would like it SP. It was your encouragement of my poems lately that gave me the incentive to try a poem with no story. I have tried and failed many times before, but this time you were the wind beneath my wings. Thank you so much.

So glad you liked it Victor. This one was actually written as I watched from my open window, twight approached and lights from distant houses began to shine and the distant horizen came aglow with colour, so I just wrote what I saw and smelled.

Oh Gina thank you so very much. This is the very first poem I have ever written that is completely descriptive with no story. I have long envied you and other talented poets that could do it. Young Jenna was my inspirtation ages ago, but my attempts were futile. This one I am pleased enough with it to let it be shown. Again thank you so very much.
