Sunset Notes
Notes put to page by mage intent
Attempt at acting sage pro temp
Unheard notes of songs and hymns
Unsung as yet unwrit
Using rythym of rhyming repeating
With rippling echoes reacting
Hanging ten while surfing brainwaves
On the sharpening edge of reason
Activating nodes in thinking patterns
Chiselling in stoned memories
Easily remembered by simple repetition
Pictures registered in singing words
Sunset clouds of changing color
Shaded hues of blue and red
Golden notes of symphonies
Counterpointing purple coastlines
Islands float in cloudy seas
Songs unheard but plainly written
In time to changing winds
Dancing silhouettes of sunlight hung
On shining stems of windblown waves
Of bending blending grasses
So many strings vibrate together
And in minor chord the brass is sung
By a thousand birds on cue
Crickets add a million cymbals
Until curtainfall is due
