Descending in the West
The fiery orb
That shined all day
Now must go to bed.
Soft lightly colored skies
Dip down to kiss the
Purple mountain majesties below
While billowing clouds gather
Highlighting the sun's ray so
It makes the Heavens ablaze
Like an explosion
Upon the vista,
Marking the end of
Another glorious day.
Across the landscape
Stretches of rolling greens,
Almost white sands and
Waves of amber
Decorates this expansive land
In our country - America.
As I travel
By bike, cycle, bus, train,
Car or plane
From shore to shore
Often I'm filled with wonder,
Admiring nature's perfect masterpieces
Whether it be night or day
They can be found
Anywhere around the nation.
And I pray
Forever may they stand
These painted creations
Preserved for all to enjoy
For years to come
On God's Canvas.
