She Watches The Sunset Poem by Hunter Dasten
She Watches The Sunset
The blue sky stretches far across the tepid marshland.
A delicate amethyst which surrounds the crouching sun
signals every cloud to it's place along the horizon.
She stands focused on the beauty of this days' decay,
as a calm descends upon her with the weight of a falling star.
She has found her peace in the flushing quiet that has consumed her mind.
I envy the setting sun as it marvels her eyes.
For I have spent the eternity that is often young love
wishing that I might find the answer in rhyme.
Yet in this fleeting moment I graciously turn away.
All that really matters is that she's found her eden
in the docksides' fading day.
The lingering beauty of the 'maturing sun' with all its 'mellow fruitfulness'. Awesome poetry with choicest metaphors and diction. Thanks for sharing. CP
