Sunset short poem

Photo by Kirt Edblom

Oh how the sun played
peek-a-boo with my eyes,
as I walked down the path
betwixt the trees early one eve.
In the blink of my eye,
she peeped out, and winked,
giving me a taste
of her bright smile.
Mile after mile I walked
and whistled a tune
looking for a clearing
to get a full burst
of her warm glow.
Alas I was too late,
the clearing came as she
disappeared below,
leaving behind just a
hint of her warm glow.
I hoped for me.

Sun spreading its colourful rays, Slowly dispersing in water at pace, The clouds saluting its attitude The waves tuning its magic magnitude, It’s time for Sunset! It’s time for Sunset! Blowing breeze carried text of peace in it, Foot stamps
