Sunrise, Sunset



Sunset Gulf Shores, Alabama
 Sun crackles in the blue reserved hill.
One lone leaf glitters eerily in the chill.
The sky looks gorgeous from my window sill.
The vastness of the hill country in a leaf
Dances beyond the span of all belief,
The splendor of its memory is brief.
Sunset Glencoe, Alabama
You may not want to hear it when I say
The Earth is in the twilight of its day.
The depth of it is drinking us away.
Sunset, Mexico Beach, Florida
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.
Apollo Beach Florida
I wish it could be every sunset, Friend,
That fey instant before all colors blend,
Dusk held at the crescendo of its end.
Sunrise in an Airplane near Baltimore, MD
The title poem of my book, Ever Sunset, Skylark Publications, India
