AS THE EVENING FADES…

Bright scarlet Macaw,

Swoops adjacent to mountains;

Sunlight disappears.

Rugged coastal cliff,

Submerged in choppy waters;

King tide transcends shore.

Hills engulfed in smoke,
Fire rages through lofty trees -
Embers on the ground.

Giant drops of rain;
Transmit ripples in the lake -
Rapid lightning flash.

Carousel rotates
Bobbing round rhythmically
Children assemble

Dusk transits to dawn,

Sun towers moderately –

Dewdrops roll off leaves.

Small quaint verandah,

Overlooks lush green valley –

Sunset bears gold tinge.
