Propinquity

The propinquity of the golden sun
to the ocean of blue is like liquid
butter upon pancakes, and love homespun
Velvet dreams of autumn sunsets limpid

Sunsets' variety of colors bold
Draw many people to slow and pause
Then marvel at the beauty to behold
Let our autumn be worthy of applause

A brillant sunset beaming through dark clouds
A radiant light to lead lost weary souls
to a golden sunset of which to be proud.
Let past be released to cleansed future console

Velvet dreams of autumn sunsets limpid
Fulfill those clear, bright dreams none that's insipid

Finis'



Propinquity__Nearness in place;proximity
Limpid_Clear and bright or transmitting light
Insipid_Lacking interest, lacking taste or pertaining to food lacking flavor
