Sunset Soon Down

A clump of sunset
feasts our vision with embers
of receding light

time to withdraw
from the chill
and enjoy time to sleep
to regain strength.

Yet come –
we are so called
there is much to oversee
a wing for preying
an owl seeking a meal

shifting forest limbs
wind’s melody
like the swoop of a bat

horizon silhouetted
as a guardian of worth.

A moose excites --
gait so proud and free
daylight only a memory.

Such a natural poem Richard. Loved the lines:- shifting forest limbs wind's melody like the swoop of a bat I liked the way it was written with such ease, flowing from one stanza into another. Very much enjoyed. Jenny.

Jenny, you are one of my great encouragers. Thank you. One of my challenges is to ensure I bring life to the images I portray. Have a precious moment, today. Richard
