Sunset Poem by David Wood
Sunset
That glowing orb of yellow daffodil
Darkening from yellow to orange glow
From the west faint embers that thrill
A shimmering breeze that dips below
The horizon like a mirage in a desert of sea.

That orb, now gone, just a dim faint glow
Marks the end of today and what may be.

Agreed with valerie this is a beautiful description of the sun truly a positive vibe nicely done
A beautiful nature piece capturing a serene moment that so many of us take for granted. Very uplifting and so well written. Thanks for sharing.
I can see it. What a beautiful sunset. And thanks for sharing such a lovely scene with us.
The lovely sun set is mirrored in your beautiful poem with rhyme and rhythm. Enjoyed it, David!
