The end of a perfect day

sunsets 007

After a quiet but perfect day, my husband took me out for a birthday meal at a lovely restaurant in a small Norfolk village not too far from where we live. I mentioned it in a previous post, entitled ‘This morning looks brighter’. As we left, we were surprised by a glorious Norfolk sunset, which inspired this poem. The photo is one of many taken on the way home.

Norfolk Sundowner

The August sky is full of fire,

Illuminated,

Celebrated

With golden luminosity.

Our burning curiosity

Is aroused

By clouds

Backlit by sun and tinged with silver,

Resplendent,

Iridescent,

Blushing from the afterglow

Of summer’s heat.

Day admits defeat

And fades from sight,

Twilight tumbles into night.
