High up on the Hill

by fionageorge

Perched here high upon the hill Darkness descends, surroundings still Shades of sunset shimmering gold As breathless glories of night unfold   I sit outside in my swinging chair Look across the city, breathe in fresh air I stare in wonder, can’t feel the cold Watching nature's miracle unfold   The sun has gently slipped down low Behind the mountains capped with snow A dull grey sky of not long ago Turns on a bright and spectacular show   Its beauty awesome to behold As around me all turns orange and gold For a few minutes, my life stands still Perched here high upon the hill
