Sunset Gulf Shores, Alabama |
One lone leaf glitters eerily of chill.
The sky looks grosgrain from my window sill.
The vastness of hill country in a leaf
Dances beyond the span of all belief,
The splendor of its memory is brief.
You may not want to hear it when I say
That earth is in the twilight of its day.
The depth of it is drinking us away.
A cloud is a distant parchment in the sky.
Today's boat is a shadow sailing by.
Minutes will never catch it, though they try.
I wish it could be every sunset, Friend,
That fey instant before all colors blend,
Dusk held at the crescendo of its end.
The title poem of my book, Ever Sunset, Skylark Publications, India
Dances beyond the span of all belief,
The splendor of its memory is brief.
Sunset Glencoe, Alabama |
That earth is in the twilight of its day.
The depth of it is drinking us away.
Sunset Mexico Beach, Florida |
Today's boat is a shadow sailing by.
Minutes will never catch it, though they try.
Apollo Beach Florida |
That fey instant before all colors blend,
Dusk held at the crescendo of its end.
Sunrise in an Airplane near Baltimore MD |
