Watching a Sunset 1

Watching a Sunset

Sunset in the sky, in colorful splendor
Sunset of life, a remembrance of blunders
Sunset of love, a matter of dejection 
As love once was of unstinted affection.

A play of oranges, golds and reds in  sky
As a posse of thoughts are passing me by.
Digressing  to dream of a golden mountain
And a falling sun filtering through fountains

I  flit back to view the spectacle in the sky
Now, a poetic play of hues as, home, birds fly.

This is the only poem that I will have time to read this weekend...working long hours...I will be savoring the intense images of colour and emotion...A new favorite for my collection! It is a beauty! I also notice that your rhyme does not sound forced or unnatural which is often hard for poets to do...Glad you shared this with your fellow poets, Jaggy! Awesome job! gwendolen
