Crepuscule

As observed on 4-2-21.

Crepuscule

I sit in the stillness,

bundled in warmth that wraps my body in clothes,

and still,

I feel the chill as the breeze pierces through the cloth.

The sun’s falling gaze is not enough to warm…

it is merely there for joy,

closing out another glorious day.

The rejoicing halo surrounds,

flaring out symmetrical rays

in radiance of a cloud-sky eve.

It hurts my eyes to look…

I fidget a little against the cold,

watching the sparse hillside for evidence of spring’s arrival,

Flowers…

…life…

the buds,

the blades,

the petals dancing in the wind,

shaking and moving in homage to the late-day sun.

Time moves.

The glittering orb glows bright,

still.

Giving enough of itself

even for blown leaves off in the distance.

The breeze continues shifting the chimes,

multiple sets,

to remind…

It’s still very chilly,

cool,

despite the significant 10,000-degree surface…

a reverent red aura,

a quivering amaranthine glow,

enveloping another day’s final end…

The sunrises and sunsets are my favorite parts of the day. I often rise early even when not required to do so just to watch the sunrise. And I've taken some glorious photos of both sunrises and sunsets. I'm often enchanted by the fact that the tiny birds who have no shelter other than nests of twigs in the trees, rise each morning to sing to the dawn. This was lovely.

Thank you for sharing your routine Fabian! That's a good one. And sweet notions of nature. I always enjoy hearing from others on their adventures!
Thanks for your kind review!

This is a beautiful poem about the setting sun and the chilly night air that’s not quite spring.

There is a calm feeling to this poem as the sun slowing descends before the moon’s glow starts

Sunsets are magical I their relaxed display of changing color
