Sunset over a bridge and stream.


Evening

Golden glory a furnace in the sky
the sun sets in molten incandescence
its blazing liquid ore radiant in flow
across the sky aflame as burning light

the red hot land and coal dark trees
in fury’s fires ablaze with sullen wrath
while still the silent waters reflect in rose
a dream of petal paint and power in pink

here the bamboo bridge in blackened shade
breaks the bond of bank and stream
and night climbs stealthy with inky cloak
to draw its veiled hand upon the dying day.
