Silent At Sunset

In my countryside, silent at sunset Long gone is the stress, long gone is the fret, Long gone is the need to be so wide-eyed Silent at sunset, in my countryside Calm now are my skies with their colors bold Streaks of blue marry with orange and gold, My mind long gone astray, as the crow flies With their colors bold, calm now are my skies Another day ends on my small hometown It's old, sunbathed bricks now shading brown, As dusk creeps in corners, silence descends On my small hometown, another day ends Down the sun dips behind my shadowed pines And so easily now my head reclines, Watching and awaiting some dreamy trips Behind my shadowed pines, down the sun dips.

Beautiful verse, Kelly, you made me homesick for the small town I left, with mountains, pine trees, and wildlife.

Thank you Eve... I've lived in those small towns all my life and could not imagine living elsewhere. I just love that hometown atmosphere and living a simple life.
