Sunset Clouds

Ethereal presence cast in gold,
Whispered red by sinking sun;
Gathering vapours softly encircle moonrise,
Rest sweet in the gloaming.
Draws calm to fraught;
Revive a lost vision,
Bereft of jet trails,
Hurry long past beyond recalling.
Listen, hear the birds sing,
Sweet repose,
Beyond the constant thrum of must and ought.
There is more in the stillness,
Regather the fragments of breathing;
Still in the seeing,
Recall the long ages that stood;
Wondering in starlight.
Thankful, awaiting new day,
The adventure of joy in the onward journey.
