Evening lurks behind
Even as sunset float ahead.
It heralds the end of daylight
So we watch it go in installments.
We feel softer airs traverse,
Drifting with pure grace
Upon our hair and coats.
It gets darker; nature’s notice.
We wonder what it meant
To follow orange twilights
As it glides down the horizon,
Leaving all for evening
But the silhouette of love
The best of it we keep for us.
Staring into your pretty eyes
Is my favorite sunset moment.
