Where is the best place to watch the sunset near you?
Yesterday, I listened to music and watched the day end from my study window. Usually, I write about the morning light. I thought about the evergreens and their presence through the days and seasons.
Two haiku from my archives:
treetops
in golden light
sunset
wind uplifting
the branches of trees
sunrise

Two haiku from my archives:
treetops
in golden light
sunset
wind uplifting
the branches of trees
sunrise
pink clouds
span the horizon
seagulls take flight
stretching to read
new books
*
afternoon light
blue-grey skies
and water
give them a stage
to shine
seagulls
*
another day
of grace
settling down
towards sunset
seagulls rest on water

losses in life
low setting sun
through branches of trees
now rises again
as birds quietly sing
(Sunset . . . Sunrise from Poems From Psalms And Nature, 2010).

Psalm 1: 3 (KJV) :
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

moving with the breeze
sun from the West
