The Golden Light of Evening

The Golden Light Of Evening


In the golden light of evening
when the day is letting go
I sit among the shadows
and watch the fires' grow.

Bewitched, it's beauty lures me,
like a sirens' song it calls
to embrace me with it's loveliness
as evenings curtain falls.

With a sigh I let it take me
where it leads me I will go
for I am promised rapture
within its' amber glow.

Basking in the shining glory
of this heavenly display
from my weary heart is lifted
all my burdens of the day.

Then as the suns last brilliant rays
prepare for final flight
it reaches out with lovers arms
to kiss the world goodnight.

Held captive by this beauty
my sorrows fade away
and I have gained the treasure
of the golden end of day.

such a beautiful and warm piece of well written poetry. thank you for reading Farewell Yankee Staduim and for your comment. Joe DiMaggio wow, what a thrill that must have been for your mom, Joe was one of the best ball players around who had that affect on people Ted Williams was great, but Joe had Grace that flowed all over him, and what a gentleman. M. Monroe did to him was a shame.
