Sunset Blaze

we warm ourselves
on the coldest days
with the sunset’s blaze

no need to light the torch
the yellow rose bush
is blazing

stepping from the shade
blazing, blazing
like the sun

despite
the arctic cold
the sky is ablaze

ablaze
with color
tribute to summer

taking
her moment
in summer’s spotlight

blazing colors
defy the drought
and celebrate the heat

basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days

maple
sends up
a final flare of color
