Sunset on a bleak landscape

Day has come to an end
Lifeforms bid adieu
Trees have shed their leaves
Empty and lonely sit the hills
But the glorious sun
Casts its splendour still
Refusing to close the day
Sky and sea with colours fill
Hopes and dreams it nourishes
As the world comes to a standstill

Haiku

Looking out at sea
The glorious sun permeates
The quiet landscape.
