Orange Sunsets
Can you see the tinges of color
And somewhat cloudier gilded edges
curled, befoiled, translucent,
piled, and frowsier.
Horizons swimming distantly
With gems of space unfurled;
wrapping gently ‘round the orbs;
edges mildly curled.
Bearing down upon the road,
Mountains in the distance,
Can you concentrate on trees
flowering by chance?
The trip has left me a reward,
A gift I cannot measure
Hung before me shades of fruit,
A monumental treasure.
c. Poetic Universalisms II by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
