At Sunset I sit and watch the evening sky, And, silently, I wonder why, The radiant sun just seems to die... At sunset. The morning is a distant star, A voice that beckons from afar, Beyond this hour that shadows mar... At sunset. The time has passed, for sunlit schemes, For fond desires, and fervent dreams; All hope is swallowed up, it seems... At sunset. And, yet, as evening draws toward night, A chariot, in its timeless flight, There's peace within the fading light... At sunset. For, in this quiet hour, I find A chance to leave my cares behind, And take a stroll within my mind... At sunset. And, so, I will enjoy this time, When heaven and earth so oft combine, To make, of life, a lovely rhyme... At sunset. -Troy J.

Troy, Beautiful sunset my friend!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Thank you all for your kind words! As Teresa mentioned, I've been having problems with my computer. Still isn't totally fixed - will probably have to re-format my HD...but it's "limping along" well enough for me to get online at least. I really do appreciate all of the wonderful comments, from such talented poets! You have made my day!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |
