Vanishing Colours / Verblassende Farben

When colours vanish In early evening light I write a new poem Soon outside sounds diminish Towards a calm and cosy night ---------------------------------------- Wenn Farben verblassen Im früh fallenden Abendlicht Schreib ich ein neues Gedicht Bald werden draußen Laute leiser Für eine ruhig schöne Nacht
