A Summer Feeling
Sunset: the sky’s chromatic nature wakes
bright brilliance on the rocks as colors drift
and glow making colorful shadows lift
observer eyes to the skies. The heart quakes
from a peace etched in a blaze of hues. Sun,
your warmth, a hug gripping and shaking souls
with an unending display. Are stoked coals
beginning to glow an unending run?
A veil: natures curtain to unending
vistas, lighting a host of paths and trees
that stand motionless and are unaware
like statues in a kings court. Trembling is
joined by a shiver that flows down to knees
as sharp rays shine down, shining without care.
