The Pink Evening Sky

A riot of colours explodes over the lake.
Shades that start pink and soft
Turn to fuschias, indigos and lavender.
Bright slashes of colour herald the coming night.

I sit on my deck with steaming coffee in hand
Enjoying my solitude.

I love this brief time between day and night
When everything is right with the world.

Tonight , tomorrow and  into eternity
Nature will show her fireworks display
But, oh so briefly.
So sit, watch, enjoy it while it lasts.
