Listen to poem:

To the Day Comes a Way of Setting

Evergreens show the season change it claims.
Timely appearance of golden sunshine
Filtering quenches ripen Autumn wine.
Through window, white sheer curtains ivy frames.

Beneath, pots of Peace Lily and ferns stand.
Still of bright colour, expansive decor
On Mahogany polished wooden floor.
Ornate lamp and lampshade on baby grand.

Their noble lives to be flawless, mincing
Mannerism infused with poetic words.
Choral music of the lively cage birds
Simply most surprisingly convincing.

By the end of day their bruise feet are sore,
Tomorrow, they open their mind to more.
