taking time out to
make the absolute most 
of these golden hued
silky september evenings
with the sun sinking swiftly
into gilded seas
leaving tinted clouds
in painted skies
for the nights are creeping softly in
the hours are ticking by 
and its time to head steadily homeward
sooner & sooner as each day passes
