scarlett waves wash across the sky
as clouds flow from the setting sun
their seeming fire cooling down blue
as the sunlight slips quietly away

Swallows glide in quick circles
developing rythmic arial dances
as they capture varacious mosquitos
before settling in for a chilly night

When the moon rises full and happy
the clouds take on pale skirtings
as bats emerge and less gracefully
continue the job left by the swallows

I sit back quietly in my faded adirondack
as the breeze picks up the quiet cold
and I close my eyes and pause to reflect
on what nature had allowed me to see

just relax and the world
becomes beautiful

A real man

kisses his children goodnight

It sounds so easy to relax when evenings are like this. You've painted a beautiful picture of twilight. Well done.

God bless America, my home sweet home.

Simply beautiful. I felt the breeze. I felt the wood of the chair...and that sir, is poetry!

I've been to the adirondacks before.. its a spellbinding sight at the top.. (especially on a clear day).. such a soul-cleansing feeling.. there is definately an energy up there
