You are There in the Sunset

I know not where you found your peace
In tropic lands or in the East
It’s on the other side of earth
So distant from my place of birth

I know not which direction lies
The stillness of your pensive eyes
It is a place of calm serene
Just like my lovely hills of green

But when there is a sunset sky
I see you there, I know not why
Vermillion streaks and golden hue
Insite the passion I once knew

As twilight darkens mountain peaks
The sky is lit with silver streaks
Fanning out in piercing beams
And there the source of all my dreams

I know not where you find repose
It is a question no one knows
But you are there beyond the hills
Where silver dreams o’er mountain spills

The light of hope shines from afar
No matter where your loved ones are
And so I watch the sunset sky
To dream, to think, to ask you why

I'm in awe here, hard to pick a favorite line but this one was so gentle on my mind.....

"Vermillion streaks and golden hue"

Well done, Elizabeth!

This is simply lovely. Great work, Liz.

And so I watch the sunset sky
To dream, to think, to ask you why

=================
Marvelously beautiful .....I loved it so much

and here I sit to wait every day
as you come my way
as you flood me with your light
and hold me tight

A big thank you for sharing this ......

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

So beautiful and complete, a absolutely "perfect" poem.
