Late Afternoon
Late sunlight,
Mellow and smooth
Touches the placid afternoon
With fire sparkled warmth
A glow of white wine
On the shadow cooled breeze
A velvet scent
Of royal petunias
Drifts from among
Yellow and white
Reaching for the last
Etchings of sun,
Silky on grass,
Brittle on leaves
A heavy sun
Bows before
Reproachful night
Written 1976. Reposted 13/10/2017
Early poem as is.
