Autumn Sunset

I sat on my porch one evening There was a chill now in the air The birds were tweeting softly In the trees as they nested there. The sun had dropped way down On the horizon bright and bold I'll tell you, I was astounded As I watched the evening unfold. The earthy fragrances were perfect To set the scene for me A dampness with the evening chill Colorful leaves drifting aimlessly. A peacefulness settled in my bones It is the way I always get When I take the time to enjoy The beautiful autumn sunset.
