A Sundown of Enchantment

The loss of daylight tingles

with showers of radiance,

a soft lavender splash

warming trees and fields

an edge to God's smile,

peaceful aside Cobequid Bay.

Cars hum along at 100 Km

traveling Hwy 104

smack dab into sunset,

troubles masking my view

headache on full alert.

I come alive in splendid

magnificence -- eyes feasting

on shadow's rim,

swirls of yellow and gold

colouring evening’s scenery.

In my hurrying, in this

crab-scrambling race

I allow a bathing.

The sky is a comfort,

changing from moody blue

orange-red to yellow hue,

a rekindling of life's eager fire.
