‘Oh sky of fire!’
The promise, the wonder,
The shepherd’s desire, neither hail nor thunder.

Amber and ochre,
The fairie’s lights,
A Turner landscape that delights the eye.

You and me,
Our souls, in the dusk reposed,
The glow of autumn love, in my heart enclosed.

We share a moment,
A second’s bliss
Ere sulphur orb is by the land eclipsed

We take the time,
To drink in its light,
No time to idle, so soon comes the night.
