When the sun sets…
Clouds look ablaze ,as they catch the last light of day
Mountains painted with every shade of red,yellow and orange
Earth is enveloped in soft rays of light
As the sun slowly sets over the horizon
The calm lake mirrors the fiery hue
The sky like an artist’s canvas,
Arrayed with different colors and tones
Air grows cooler,and the valley goes quiet.
Stars begin to appear in the western sky.
I sit and absorb the peace and calm.
Unwinding from the day’s hard work.
Leaves fall like rain and cover the ground with beautiful colors.
Past joys and memories sweep in like the ocean winds
as we walk hand in hand along the foot of the mountain
Listening to old ballads ,
as the breeze plays with my clothes and hair.
Pausing under the purple jacaranda tree.
Almost hearing a familiar song in the distance.
Of where the sun sets and hearts are knit together.
I wish you knew ,
but that’s all it will be
Wishes and memories plus dreams
Of our perfect sunset…
And hearts still reaching to be knit together.
