As Daylight fades

All the beauty of nature

As daylight fades

 

The Eucalyptus tree

With the Banksia by her side

Does shine beneath the fading sun

On this evening, deified

As I watch the gleaming river flow

Past giant Tingle trees

The mind fades into nothingness

To let the soul roam free.

 

The river, like a gentle dream

Creates serenity

To the ending of a perfect day

As I, alone with me

Do venture where heart only goes

As the soft green branches dance

With grace upon the evening  breeze

The evening to enhance.

 

A man below secures canoes

As small dog, bold and playful

Gives chase to ducks, who hurry off

Then evening growing cool

Brings on that silence always felt

At the ending of the day

I witness all, heart filled with peace

As blue skies fade to grey.
