Sundown

An apricot colored sky with hues of orange and red Slightly cast against a baby blue evening Milky white clouds forming over head A February sundown slowly lingering Sassafras and hickory wood being consumed by dancing fire Crackle and pop as shades of yellow meet with scarlet heat Streaks of blue forming as the flames grow higher Complete peace found in my back yard retreat Midnight blue consumes the February eve Bringing diamond sparkles so high above My soul calm and the mind takes leave As I hear the cooing from a dove Rising above the troubles and woes Listening to the sounds of the season I find myself gliding into a peaceful repose One with a greater reason
