SUNSET
| I love to leave the city Or escape the country town And feel at one with nature As the sun is going down In the dwindling rays of sunlight There is usually just we three There's the crunching of my footsteps There's my shadow and there's me Softening shades of sunlight's hues Caress the path ahead The branches rustle softly As birds prepare for bed But nocturnal hearts are waking To greet the fading light They'll gradually clear their sleepy heads Then play throughout the night I gaze fondly on the mountains As the setting sun sinks down For it seems to bless each mountain With a dazzling golden crown Lengthening shadows clasp the land And herald the delight That countless, wondrous, blazing stars Will fill the sky this night The sunset in its final stage Is precious to behold The sky of blue has yielded To a rim of purest gold And when the golden globe of sun Descends into the west The shimmering moonbeams will arrive To put the day to rest The countryside is perfect for a moment such as this The scents and sounds of bushland Add a special kind of bliss The gentle, velvet shades of night Caress each bushland scene And the soul feels deep contentment For the world seems so serene The beauty that is nature Is free to everyone And Nature flaunts her beauty With every setting sun K.D.
