My eyes set their gaze across the horizon <br />The sun is setting in late fall afternoon <br />Cold snap in the air as the leaves swirl about <br />A welcoming view is the painted pink sky <br /> <br />Streaks of pale blue dotted with white <br />Have been suddenly brushed with a soft pastel <br />The beauty is breathtaking, such natural artistry <br />I am in awe of the painted pink sky <br /> <br />I think of you now, how magnificent it would be <br />To find ultimate and much needed serenity <br />Wrapped up in your strong arms in loves sweet embrace <br />To be held by you under the painted pink sky<br /><br />Lillian Jamison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/painted-pink-sky/
