Languid observations

Evening dreamings....
the setting sun is floating on a sea of red clouds
how beautiful the view out my bedroom window

sitting with chin on hand, i watch the world wind down around me
lights signal the change of venue as children
drag themselves to bed and dreams

birds fly into roost as the day turns to dusk
their sleepy chirpings remind me of wind chimes as they settle in for the night
I wonder if they dream of worms and wind?

the street lights come on, not one by one, but all together
like a lighted chorus
bringing harmony to the dark curbs and corners of our street

mystery abounds in the dark sway of the trees
as twilight robs them of color and form on the nearby hill
the rattle of bushes leave prickly goosebumps on arm and neck

darkness settles in for the evening
as silhouettes of clouds race behind the moon
how interesting the view out my bedroom window!
