Notes About The Poem

My Soul At Sunset


Enthralled by sunsets and the many ways
   I so enjoy their glory in my view;
my eyes and mind absorb the bright displays
   which stir my soul to be creative too.

Upon the sea, while sunrays splay their gold,
   the sun descends behind horizon's line
to sink, at last, from visions that I hold-
   as rays, with deep-sea magic, intertwine.

So like the sunset, my creative soul
   reflects a brilliant glow with thoughts ablaze,
en massé to sink in fluid, deep control
   where fervid thoughts create word's vivid rays.

My slipping soul sunsets into that sea-
   where depth and mystery form poetry.
