MONOCHROMEMONOCHROME © Sara Etgen-Baker 2025
Sun slowly descends, and the world turns monochrome, like a black and white drawing on the Creator’s easel. I patiently wait for night with its renewing spirit. Nightfall serves as a metaphorical curtain closure, while dawn symbolizes a daily reopening, with the birds serenading harmoniously on cue.
dusk whispers, night...

SUNSETSUNSET
golden sun sinks low
moon's pale crescent in the west
stars start to twinkle
silent forest deep
moon's soft light upon its trees
shadows stretch and yawn

Coffee together at sunsetWe had a day
straight out of a dream,
perfect in every way.
We savoured our favourite dinner,
satiated, kicked back,
put up our feet.
It was pure harmony,
we didn't want it
to ever end.
Front row seats
for the best outdoor
show in town.
A mug of french vanilla
coffee in hand,
we were one with the universe....

Gliding On WavesGliding on waves, the evening sun,
Imparts glowing shimmering hue,
As the misty evening is spun,
Gliding on waves.
Water adores the misty blue,
Sprinkled with bits of love and dew,
Hope and dreams for the life renew.
Under the sky, the world is one,
The sun shines upon, leaving none,
For birth of new day has begun,
Gliding on waves.

Sunset ReverieSmiling down on the speckles of sand,
already the warmth is fading.
Dreaming of brilliant
stars to appear
as their mother rested on waves.
At the height of graceful magnificence
her soft chrome glow diminishing.
One last show
she would provide
before she went to bed.
She reached her arms to the skies
and bid her children "good night."
Sinking slowly,
hesitantly,
into the darkness,
she painted...

Autumn TwilightAs I look out upon the heavens,
a great sight meets my eyes,
as I look upon the sky.
Twilight has come.
Oh! Wonderful twilight
stretching across the sky!
The song of an unspoken beauty,
the dance of a graceful painting,
the colors of a gentle wave.
Pink, tinged across the blue,
bands of color floating lazily about,...

I Touch The Sun
I touch the sun and have some fun,
Leaping and bouncing and splashing,
Looking up when the day is done,

SUNSET ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
We think we have the best of both worlds…
we get to watch the sun set over the ocean…
watch as into the water it slowly drops…
And we also get to watch it set…into the horizon
from on a mountain top.
There are many things we love about sunsets…
A few of them I’ll name…
One is how in a lifetime...

Muse
In the mirror I see, framed like a painting
a woman who mistakes face for truth,
and wears affection like yesterday's shirt.
Lost, confused, occasionally lying—
One who fears loneliness, so she
invites harm just to be seen.
One who can't stand her shallowness—
but in midnight darkness, a sharp Discomfort
reminds her that she's none but a human—
the her tale ends in...
