- When the Sun Goes Down -

         Embellished by the artist's
         softest marten hairbrush
         unfolds creatively on the canvas
         The view that takes your breath away
         when the evening sun is
         curved on the edge of the earth
         - in the magic hour
         Nature's beauty is on full display

         It is something exceptional
         at every sunset
         Notice how the heavens
         and the sea is changing
         From yellow, orange and pink
         - to purple and intense red
         Gracefully and powerful
         Full of wonder I breathed deeply in silence
         observes and appreciates the work of art

Jerry Brotherton September 13, 2023 at 6:22 PM There is nothing more mesmerizing than a sunset... 'when the evening sun is curved on the edge of the earth'. Brilliant poem my friend.

Joseph P. DiMino September 13, 2023 at 2:11 PM Excellent read! Good art should do that: ("Notice how the heavens and the sea is changing From yellow, orange and pink") live and evolve in the viewers mind and heart. Why I can look at the same master works over and over, always seeming like the first time. Anne-Lise Andresen September 14, 2023 at 5:14 AM - I enjoy this view from my window, Joe ... the sun setting into the sea ... unique every time ... :) - hugs
