Sunset

Swaying, drifting, constant movement, music fills my soul.
Arms extended overhead, the music makes me whole.

Yellow tipped, the trees await, and catch me in their arms,
The night awakes, the birds sing, and thrill me with their charms.

Sun sinks lower in the heavens singing its own song,
Sky is filled with pinks and grays, I know it won't be long,

Moon begins its long journey across the darkened sky,
Wind caresses my body, I feel like I can fly.

The swaying slows, the day's at rest, stars begin to shine.
The magic moment moves my soul, this sunset was mine.

Author's Note

I took this picture a few years ago ... it was a stunning sunset and looked like the sky was on fire.

Nice write. I'm a sucker for well-composed couplets. Lots of juicy description here. Absolutely love it....

Beautiful words as always... the imagery filled my soul and made me long to see a sunset again instead of this snow... don't get me wrong I love the snow but this made me long for the kind of sunset where there are golden bands across the sky and the clouds the color of cotton candy... Magical... that's what this poem was, magical.

I'm so glad you entered this into my contest, I wish you the best of luck : )

Do you do anything that involves music in your life now? If you don't you should. It seems that it is so important to you and that you personify it so well, that its absolutley wonderful making each of your pieces very very good.

Wow, the flow was perfect, the rhyme was too. I think one mark of a good poem is when the second reading is better than the first, of the third. I can ssee you standing there with your arms up waiting for the trees to begin to dance with you. So, I think you are a dancer.
