Five sunset poems

10/23/07

These pathways in the sky

Roads stretch for all my sight

Turning autumn evening to gold

And changing every light



A certain dreamlike air

With golds and blues and greens

Sits and quiets me

and just touches autumn leaves



A vividness not shown,

Nor seen before right now

Lends itself to red

Till softness steals down



The blues and greys and whites

Seem painted on a screen

Stretched over all the earth

While orange-gold colors keen



Death is felt and imminent

But peace and glory too

Hope and sorrow, love and joy

All seem to come from you
