This poem captures a moment in time of peace, beauty and tranquility.

In the early evening
--at sunset glow
A sweet smell of roses
--Pauses in the dim light.

The red sun moves quietly
--- Between the dark shadows,
Blazing into a small red fire
---On a spider's gossamer web.

The wind whispers over
--- The gold tinged leaves
Dancing as if strings,
---Suddenly, my fluttering heart
Glides weightlessly
---To embrace life's beauty.
