Sunlight Farewell
Against the setting sun, tall trees are silhouettes
The sparrows circle, then swoop down,
to gather leaves, and violets
They'll work to form their woven nests
Small fragrant bassinets
A sun slides down to take a rest,
and leaves a crimson crown
So gently, then, without a sound, light fades behind the hills
Our ills are left behind, as well.....'till darkness slips around
