The Setting Sun

The sun descends, in fiery grace,
Behind the hills, its light doth fade,
And twilight paints a peaceful space,
In hues of amethyst and jade.
The day is done, the stars appear,
As night's soft mantle starts to fall,
And weary hearts find solace here,
Beneath the heavens, embracing all.
