The sun melts
Crimson pools spill across the horizon
staining clouds
oranges, pinks, purples
A beacon?
Welcome, Night
The moon
waxing, waning,
in a perpetual dance with an ever-jumping cow
A harbinger?
So long, Day
Sands
through the hourglass
falling, passing
“hush-a-bye baby on the treetop” time
A promise
Living art
rendered in warmest hues
broad strokes across the cool sky
Time
passes by

Thank you so much, Stephen! I wish I could paint it with paints. Lol
🎨 🖌 ☺️
But, words are fun too!
you should see the sun set in the desert of Kuwait. it’s magical.
Hi, Jim! I have never seen a desert sunset, but I was lucky to see sunrises and sunsets on both coasts this year. They inspire. Have a wonderful week!
So dreamlike and beautiful. Proof that paintings can be painted with words.
Thank you so much, Rob! I wish I could paint with brushes too, but I am happy to do it in poetry. Have a wonderful week!
Wow, what imagery! Loved it.
Thank you so much! You made my day! 😊

Good to be back in the blogosphere. How are you. Keeping up with your health issues. How can I pray?
I am doing great! Prayers for continued health is always welcomed, and right now there are some folks I hold dear who badly need prayer for jobs and careers. Let me know if you need any your way. Much love, Steven! 🥰
So beautiful and magical with each word. The imagery is gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Lucy! I can’t paint it with paints, but I can try to capture it with words. Glad you liked it!
beautiful Tanya! I love watching the sunset too, we get spectacular ones here, she is gorgeous and shines for everyone!
Like music! A universal language and part of the wonder that connects us all. Thank you so much, Gina! ❤️

I love the ever-jumping cow. This sunset ( the one in your poem) would be fun to try in watercolours…
