Sunset Splash

The sun sets in muted gold glow, Shadows darkle the sky's blue brow, Salmon clouds spread the sparkle slow, As the orange orb's hiding now; Lilac lush of evening welkin, A prelude to heaven's splendour, Horizon hues like patched pumpkin, The work of Creator's blender; The "bridegroom" of the firmament Goes back to rest in his chamber, My feathered friends are testament To sweet homecoming splashed amber; Birds tweet their goodbye to the sun, Flowers close their smiling petals, Time for relaxing, day is done, The earth in repose, peace settles.
