A Beautiful Day - Poem by Charles M Moore
I walked to the cliff top to watch the sunset
thinking of you and the time that we met
I watched as the sun drifted down from the sky
a reminding reflection of light in your eyes
A myriad birds flocked from over the hill
returning to roost as the world stood still
their fawning and waving high up in the air
brought memories to me how you unfurl your hair
The sea seemed to amble as if in a trance
when reaching the rocks leaping into a dance
its light sparking rainbows in fine misty haze
a lasting encounter of how we embrace
The sun kissed the horizon like I kiss your lips
it was saying goodnight with its light fingertips
caressing the ocean and stretching my way
a beautiful end to a beautiful day.

This would be so worth the read at any time of the day, so much contained, the imagery,
the deep feeling for another and the flow and style all help to make this a 10!

What a lovely write - the perfect ending to a perfect day. I could even feel the setting sun on my own face! (Report)Reply
Charles, I liked the line 'the sea.......when reaching the rocks leaping into a dance.'
Your cliff top, with the sun setting on the horizon, sounds the perfect place for recalling those wonderful memories.
