Sunset Song

Silent shimmers catch my eye

Evening sun languid and low in the sky.

A throw of red-coloured light reaching deep, deep, down the hall

blushes shyly on my living room wall.

And I look to the sky.

Painted bluer and bluer

as twilight falls, still deeper descends

until all of the sky is an indigo bird!

And a black diamond, shining, envelopes the world.
