As the lonely afternoon shimmers
in ribbons dancing on far off vistas
while blushing cloud formations
float on breathless breezes
and sunset dreams,

my thoughts wander
through long shadows forming
of maple tree embraces,
when again the silent dusk
finds we are apart

and my saddened heartbeat
echoes upon distant horizons,
anticipating twilight's arrival,
bidding farewell to another day
of missing her
