(For Natasha's "Sunsets" contest)
(Psalm 19:4–6
In them hath He set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.)
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.
