Evening Glory.

Sunset’s fiery glow spreads across the Western sky,

as the burnished sun sinks low, a background for trees so high.

The glowing backdrop compliments the many shades of green

which vary from tree to tree, to paint a pretty scene.

The flowers now begin to close; it’s almost time for sleep.

The evening clouds of darkness slowly appear to creep.

Replacing pink and baby blue, lemon and fluffy white.

The silver moon appears, to herald the arrival of night.

Sounds of the day now faded and gone

silence reigns sublime and work of day is done.

How lovely to walk in the cool summer breeze

among nature’s treasures, our troubles soon cease.

The poem captures the serene transition from day to night, emphasizing the beauty of nature and the tranquility it brings as the world settles down for the evening.

A very beautiful write, I enjoyed reading. Nice imagery to. Phrases like "shades of green" and "silver moon" create vibrant visuals.

Also the sunset can be seen as a metaphor for the passage of time and the cycle of life.

Thanks for sharing this gem. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💜
