Sunset Poem by Nafisa SB

The red eye of the sun took at last look over the earth
For it, could not, its gaze from it, avert
And then, with a final farewell it disappeared
As quickly as the flight of a tiny humming bird
The evening shadows began to deepen
As in twilight, the sky began to redden
It was a wondrous and awe-inspiring sight
Which brought, to every spectator's heart, delight
Birds of all sorts began to chirp and sing
As they returned to the nest, and rested on one wing…
The sight evoked in me, a relief, from life's pain
I never tire to see this scene - again and again….
