As the sun fades from the day <br />it leaves a crimson afterglow <br />that we watch for hours before <br />the moon and stars appear. <br /> <br />We call the afterglow the sunset. <br />The visage of the sun before it <br />goes to sleep leaving us <br />with the darkness of the night. <br /> <br />We rejoice with silhouettes <br />on the horizon that are dark <br />against the setting sun's <br />extended afterglow of sunset. <br /> <br />Romantic dreams extended fingers <br />into our mind to what <br />may lay behind sun's <br />evening afterglow before night falls. <br /> <br /> <br />11 October 2014<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afterglow-14/
