April at the Close of Day

April at the Close of Day

As the sunsets the air begins to cool
the warmth of the first spring breeze
fresh on our minds.
The tulips reclose their petals
to dream of a sunny tomorrow.
The sky, with ever darkening
hues of blue becomes a backdrop for
two spring geese, wings spread wide,
searching for a place to settle for the night.
In the fading light the soft colors
of the redbuds and dogwoods
are still visible and the tender new leaves
of the maple quiver in anticipation.
Spring peepers have begun
their nightly chorus as a few stars
come out to dazzle the sky.
