Sunset

my perfect day is bleeding in the sky as an evening gust takes my hair with a sigh frogs sing, and birds in circled flight cry_ I must stop to watch the sweet changing hues rose, lilac purple and the swirling of blues oh, such beautiful and heavenly views_ now, red and yellow mingle in a haze the sky is unfurling a colorful blaze I could just stand here forever and gaze _ slowly, that bright golden sphere is sinking falling, fading- the horizon drinking dusk has captured my world, I am thinking_ I watch as the sweet stars glide into place then, orange moon has settled in it's space and my perfect day is gone without a trace_ _____________________ April 12, 2020 (Edited) Poetry/Our Destiny/Rhyme Copyright Protected, ID 20-1243-239-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into Strand Pick 10 Contest sponsor, Brian Strand Second Place

The poem's perfect Sunset is always the next. 'I watch as the sweet stars glide into place then, orange moon has settled in it's space and my perfect day is gone without a trace_' Nicer still for some reason with use of underlines_ Happy Easter _Constance _Richard
