Evening in her slippered feet Approaches from the heat of day Shadows in the molten light Lengthen as they have their way Silence in the hovered moment Stillness in the mote of time, The glow within a sunbeam's ray Ensnares the warmth of joy as mine. Drifting insects float on bye Suspended in the evening light Against the lace of silver birch With gnarled trunk of speckled white. In the dark  blue, far azure A gosshawk glides on high, aloft A predator surveying late For living things in farmer's croft. A waterfall of children's laughter Cascades through a field of green, Overtones of golden shadow Fills the air with love unseen. Earthworms in their darkened tombs Are wriggling for the coming night, Rabbits stretch and move to grazing Anxious for the closing light. The chill night air descends as dew The picnickers depart the scene, Starlings flock to perch and roost Whilst velvet silence hangs serene Vaulting high above the foothills Crowned with purple alpenglow Taranaki's snowclad grandeur Last to see the day light go. Contemplation be my friend For deep within contentment's breast The joy of living sings it's song And sooths my happy soul to rest. Marshalg Taranaki Evensong 23 October 2010

Taranaki Evensong
Evening in her slippered feet Approaches from the heat of day Shadows in the molten light Lengthen as they have their way Silence in the hovered moment Stillness in the mote of time, The glow within a sunbeam's ray Ensnares the warmth of joy as mine. Drifting insects float on bye Suspended in the evening light Against the lace of silver birch With gnarled trunk of speckled white. In the dark  blue, far azure A gosshawk glides on high, aloft A predator surveying late For living things in farmer's croft. A waterfall of children's laughter Cascades through a field of green, Overtones of golden shadow Fills the air with love unseen. Earthworms in their darkened tombs Are wriggling for the coming night, Rabbits stretch and move to grazing Anxious for the closing light. The chill night air descends as dew The picnickers depart the scene, Starlings flock to perch and roost Whilst velvet silence hangs serene Vaulting high above the foothills Crowned with purple alpenglow Taranaki's snowclad grandeur Last to see the day light go. Contemplation be my friend For deep within contentment's breast The joy of living sings it's song And sooths my happy soul to rest. Marshalg Taranaki Evensong 23 October 2010
