One summer evening

Hot day

Nears end of it’s reign

Betrayed by its leaves

Tree tries to reach

Sky for clouds of hope

Tired sun starts turning red

Searches for horizon to set itself

Finding it

Midst buildings two

Squeezes down to fit itself

Travellers on the road

In a rush

Have reached destination

In their mind

Unaware of the scene

Playing out

Gloriously around them
