sunset

I love the way the setting sun
paints the tip tops of trees
in an amber glow
tinged in rose

i watch the golden sun
clinging to the edge of the sky
give up and plunge behind a dark edged skyline
the sky pulsates the sun's dying glory
and clouds adorn themselves in trims of
soft edged beauty
against their darkened hearts of gray

sunset

god's gift to the beholder
a breath of divine love
at the end of the day

Anne, I have seen this many times in the country, where the scenery is slightly hilly and while driving the sunsets and makes the most beautiful backdrop.

enjoyed your view

Beautiful poem. Sunsets are beautiful, and it is a treasure to be able to capture a piece of one in a poem.

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson
