Late Afternoon

As the late afternoon makes its way to the hill Where the lowering sunlight begins to spill Through the tall trees and across the snow In the flash of a moment, all is settled to know With comfort in the fulfillment of this day Excitement is garnered to move on my way I am always uplifted to watch the bright sky Change colors in places I’d love to fly Winter opens these distant views to see Beyond every single bare standing tree This quiet afternoon, brings peace all around With nothing more needed to be found Heidi Sands 2/17/19
