Sunset

Contributed by ValDohren on Tuesday, 6th November 2012 @ 05:53:58 AM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

`Tis now the lantern of the day
Shall slowly start to slip away
To fall into a distant place
Beyond the earth and set in space

The closing of the day embrace

The sky ablaze with fiery glow
Reflected on the ground below
As shadows drift across the land
Like cloaks of darkness softly spanned

The clouds above yet strangely fanned

Then threads of silver light remain
Should e`er the fading day complain
Before the night shall chase away
The dying embers of the day

So turning all to steely grey

With shimm`ring fall of evening mist
`Pon glist`ning leaves by moonlight kissed
And eerie silhouetted spires
Against the backdrop of the skies

For ever now the sunlight dies

As evening steals away the glow
That lingers on the earth below -
Then she who shines with tender face
Upon the land bestows her grace

Then takes the heavens all apace

The trees are still, the birds asleep
All silent now, as growing deep
The day turns slowly into night
As with the fading of the light

And as all dreams shall now take flight

So gently close your eyes and rest
Sleep softly now at her behest
As night-time takes you to her breast
For he now slumbers in the west

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
