Amber Sunset

Amber Sunset

The hanging street gardens beckon longingly

And Mother Nature obliges

with a tropical breeze

The varied flowers react

Like the rich executives that hail taxicabs

with confidence and style

Where is beauty? Where, as such, does it flourish?

Wherever, I surmise, you may see a rose

A rose of concentrated red, as that of the setting sun

When it burns into the plateau of twilight

The pureĀ azure sky, along with the greenest

foliage and sundry songbirds, is gone

Where is the nutrious life? Where is the natural music?

Now I just hear a soulful noiseĀ 

It rings in my ears until it doesn't

Daylight color is now replaced by the evening's

Daylight sounds have changed in tone

But, before the night falls there is something

Something I cannot overlook

The amber sunset

Just before it reddens

And burns into the plateau of twilight

Thank you Tony. I just had a mental picture of that particular sunset and stayed on it. I try to be an artist I suppose, which I wish I was. But it's never too late to learn, right? Thanks again brother poet!
