Blue Sky, Colors, Day's End, Gray Clouds, Poems, Spring, Sunset, Walk Gently

‘Neath the blue of the sky and the gray of the clouds,

In the yellow of the bright setting sun,

Walked gently in the green of the lush Spring grass,

Walked and read the telltale of day’s done.

Snake basks on warm rock.
