Worth the Wait

The clouds light up like lightbulbs, as the sun sets beyond the hill
Some are tinted gray, with bright shining edges of white
They are spread all over the place, above the pine trees so still
A moving transformation of the last beautiful moments of daylight

Animals speak as birds call from the woods, chipmunks scamper fast
The air is still and warm, from this nice day to celebrate
Every minute the sunlight hangs on and continues to last
The sky transitions in full circle and it is well worth the wait

Hi Tom. Yes, the sunset at the end of the day is special. Thank you. Yes, I am getting much better. I have a heart test tomorrow. A sore throat is lingering, but I see doctor later this week and will be retested for Covid as well and then tested for antibody later. Take care :)
