So still the twilight, sunset is nigh
thunder and lightning has all passed by
only the trills of the robins hunting worms
oh how the nestlings do squirm
Leaves so still, eerie the last of this day
sprinklers running to keep things as you may
sun breaks through before it goes away
youngsters playing outside, want it to stay
Loud car spoils the ambience of this serenity
automotive entities try one's amity
sun sinking low giving tinges of orange and gold
evening is here, it goes out so bold
