Another Day Fades and Dies
Softly, the sun shimmers with golden glimmers
as a sanguine sunset dances a marvelous minuet.
Past the time of twilight skies, another day slowly dies,
only to be reborn again on tomorrow's misty morn.
With the warmth of radiant rays, Sol deftly displays
Dawn's luminous light in place of celestial starlight.

The SungazingAt the hour of 10:10, and again at 15:15,
I stood—barefoot—upon Mother Earth.
And I gazed.
Not with the eyes of flesh alone,
but with the soul’s unblinking truth.
There—before me—was Ra, the Eternal Flame,
not merely a star,
but the whisperer of secrets,
the awakener of the sleeping god within.
The light poured into me—
not warmth,
but memory,
echoes of a time before forgetting.
He spoke...

Sunset In Florida On The Gulf Of Mexico
The sea is still, a painted glass,
Its breath a hush upon the shore,
As golden light begins to pass
Through skies that blaze and burn no more.
The herons call in liquid cries,
Then vanish in the amber haze,
And clouds drift low like lullabies
Composed in fire for end of days.
A sailboat waits—its canvas furled—
As if it, too, would pause...

WRAPPED IN SUNSET SKIESsonger.co/song/p28w94cepxjcnq0xjrps48zb
[Verse 1]
Your hand’s in mine, no need to say,
The sky’s burnin’ low, daylight fades away,
Golden hour’s slow, a gentle fire,
Like every year that built this quiet desire.
[Pre-Chorus]
Lines on our faces tell the truth,
Every scar a proof of youth.
[Chorus]
When the sun dips down, and shadows crawl,
Your eyes say everything, no need at all.
No words left to...

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....

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,...

Leaping and bouncing and splashing,
Looking up when the day is done,
