Magnolia Sunset

There's a certain beauty to the skyline
On the edge of this Texas town
Conjuring up the days last events
As the sun is sinking down

The day wrestles with the memories
Drawing them closely to an end
A sweetness that holds the fragrance 
Of this beautiful Magnolia sunset

As the brushstroke of truth sweeps pinks and blues
In a mix between silver lined clouds
So much beauty to behold
Could make any sky cry out loud 

Painting with perfection in pastel
God saves what colors are left
To use again the next evening
For another beautiful Magnolia sunset


Had a friend on Facebook post pictures of Magnolia Texas's sunset.
Loved the view and title so much that I had to write a poem.
Thank you Catherine Eaves!

You made me want to fill my brushes with the soft pastels you mention. Wonderful images of sunset, Mike. We really do find inspiration everywhere, if we keep our eyes open.
