Sunset Melody

I hook my nervous to the end of day,
anxiety is better put away;
time to leave old worry for tomorrow.
And shun whatever things I have not done;
I glance into the western setting sun,
then assail the signature of sorrow.

Today I hear a sunset melody;
that awesome evening sky playing for me.
A deep shade of red with an upbeat tune;
(maybe foretelling of a harvest moon.)
And so I hear a sunset melody;
orange-amber-maroon performed awesomely.
The hues splash the sky with a special song;
now I appear to be where I belong.

I put away my toil for the night,
then I wave goodbye to autumn sunlight;
time to breathe deeply, for time is fleeting.
I banish tasks until another time,
the mountain high yet now I cease the climb;
I face west for one more mellow meeting.

Again I hear a sunset melody;
rainbow of light displayed musically.
The sunlight refracting in longer waves;
(it is remarkable how it behaves.)
And so I hear a sunset melody;
a tune from on high, creative and free.
The sun hides his face yet still gives his light,
then plays a melody to welcome night.
