The Sunburnt September Skies

A gentle pink mist
A low blue haze
Purple horizons
A light refreshing breeze...
The red heat subsides
The tall trees sigh
Beneath the sunburnt september skies.

The pastures relax
The flowers close up to sleep
The last songs of the day
Are sung by avian creatures
Like a soothing lullaby
As the sun waves bye bye
Low in the sunburnt september skies.

The land enjoys its slumber
As do lives of unknown number,
A tranquility only Earth knows...
This month every night
So far, the stars 
twinkle with delight.
Cooled are the sunburnt september skies.

"The tall trees sigh Beneath the sunburnt september skies." Lovely imagery throughout. Yes, September is special -- if not cooling yet, hope on the horizon here in Phoenix. Blessings.

Thanks Joanna. Thought I'd stray from my comfortable form for a change :-D we've a heatwave in the UK and the colours in the sunsets are lovely. Almost like calming pastel after the intense heat of the day. Thanks for your encouraging comment. :-D X all the best.
