Sundown in the Pink City

White lights glitter against the black grill The terrace door is open A view of the plants can be seen Highlighted by the lowering sun Creating an impressionistic look A slight breeze moves through the awning moving it back and forth The light plays against the rose colored buildings giving them a magical hue It’s almost surreal Another day is coming to a close as nighttime encroaches The change from light to darkness is in a holding pattern like an aircraft waiting to land The shades of pink change as the sun drops As the sun continues to drop It’s time to relax and slowdown People are gravitating to cafes For coffee and a chat with friends Evening is on its’ way
