Waiting For the Evening...

as night gently approaches me
the sun spills 
its paints on the sky
reflecting on the water 
and in my eye 
the flower is left alone 
by the bee
and shadows grow longer 
behind each tree
 
as night gently approaches you
the moon clocks in 
for its shift
along with darkness 
the stars also lift
the song birds go quiet 
as the day is threw
and nature’s night sweats 
will be left as dew

I run out of words to describe the depth or your poetry. Your words paint the descriptions of your thoughts, I imagine they just flow easily from your pen without much effort. Beautiful
