An apricot colored sky with hues of orange and red <br />Slightly cast against a baby blue evening <br />Milky white clouds forming over head <br />A February sundown slowly lingering <br /> <br />Sassafras and hickory wood being consumed by dancing fire <br />Crackle and pop as shades of yellow meet with scarlet heat <br />Streaks of blue forming as the flames grow higher <br />Complete peace found in my back yard retreat <br /> <br />Midnight blue consumes the February eve <br />Bringing diamond sparkles so high above <br />My soul calm and the mind takes leave <br />As I hear the cooing from a dove <br /> <br />Rising above the troubles and woes <br />Listening to the sounds of the season <br />I find myself gliding into a peaceful repose <br />One with a greater reason<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sundown-2/
