The sunset was gorgeous,
It glistened far beyond my imagination.
The wind whispered and danced,
while rippling the stiff branches of the old navy tree.
Colours of blue, purple, and orange warmed my life,
while laying in the swaying green grass.
The laughter of children playing in the distance,
soothed my body
And the chirping of birds
filled my heart with joy.
It was the end of a beautiful day of love.
I saw the geese flying south
in a wonderful arrow formation,
The clouds took off with all of my sadness.
I saw the humble owl and the sly fox,
I knew it was time to leave---
I took a last glimpse at the field
and saw the moon rise up,
The horizon looked like it had a life of its own.
