Perfect Time of Day

Cotton candy colours
stretch across the sky.
The summer heat is waning
as day goes floating by.

Sunsets here are glorious.
Too beautiful to ignore.
So I take a moment to step outside.
It leaves me wanting more.

The violets and lavenders
and pinks of several shades,
they only last a few minutes
as into darkness it fades.

A moment on the deck
to just enjoy the view.
The perfect time of day
to whisper "God, thank you".

Hi Francine. It is the perfect time of day when God lovingly paints the sky. I wish more people would take time to stop and enjoy it the way you have. Your poem also paints that picture. Very nice.... Robert.
