Hi everyone, this week I’ll be sharing a short poem of mine musing over thoughts I had as a young student. You’ll find this poem fairly simple, describing a glorious sunset I witnessed as a university student. I hope you enjoy it!!
Sunset
A golden hued sky is seen At sunset. Rich orange mixes with paler shades And brilliant displays of red Are features we find At sunset. Hillsides shine with bronze. A whole countryside can change as The majestic sun starts on its journey Towards the end of the horizon At sunset. Time slows down, temperature changes, And a whole new world comes to life At sunset. The hustle and bustle in towns slows down. People go home to relax with friends and family At sunset. Others find this time alluring, Young lovers stroll through lonely paths Or along beaches. Families sometimes take their pets For walks in parks At sunset. Unknown to the human eye A whole new world awakens At sunset. Crickets chirp, insect calls, Flying birds finding places to roost All indicate the beginning of the night life At sunset. The barn owl out in the woods awakens Creatures of the night take on life During sunset. The mighty globe of light That provides us with warmth and life Finally disappears, over the horizon, Slips into the sea, to its long and slumber, At sunset. The sky remains dimly lit Shades of blue and black slowly mix But there is always a bit of light Reminding us of a brighter And better tomorrow, At sunset.
