Late Afternoon
There is a magic
that happens in the
late afternoon
when the sun says goodnight
for the day
an energy that transforms
late in the day
while the colors of pink and orange
fill the sky
everything seems just
a little more somber
a little more quiet
where you can listen to your thoughts
more clearly

Lovely poetic thoughts of the late afternoon. I love the mellow glow and then the purple twilight.
