SkyWatch ~ The Wonders of one Sunset

The sun thinking about setting still shines brightly.
All photos like being enlarged.

As it sets, the scene changes dramatically, darkness grows

overhead while wonderful colours develop below.

Gold touches the ground as the sun sinks lower.

Even the black clouds are getting some colour back.

With the sun now gone, the afterglow fades the glory into
some gentle restful tones, a twilight zone between the rigours

of the day and the dark restful night.

Thanks to Klaus and the SkyWatch team, we can all join in

with this great fun meme.

Sleep

When sleep like stealthy thief

escapes into the night,

breathing the darkness deeply

like bird in restles flight

to roam beneath the stars

or moon, or absence of all light

chasing memories and hopes

in endless roundelay

the little worries of the coming day

Where does sleep hide

when she departs

why forsakes us in our need?

Oh fickle lady of the night

to come and shackle us by day

inopportunely shutting down

our senses in a busy town

with traffic roaring all around

and nowhere to be safely still

while she exerts her wayward will.
