Literature Text

The blanket of night falls over the land
     Tucked in by the warmth of the fleeting evening
Little gleaming lights curiously peek in
          to watch over the death of an old day
The grass rustling in the wind slowly cools
And the birds have all returned home
The vermilions, violets, and burning yellows dotting the fields
               all settle to a calm blue, enshrouded in darkness
I pull my weary body into bed and extinguish the yellow light
My thoughts dance like autumn leaves in the whistling wind
And under the pure light of the brimming moon
                     Everything melts quietly into its place
                            To await rebirth

On line 7, is the word "burnings" supposed to be "burning?"

I like this, it flows well (no speed bumps). It is a highly visual poem, the kind I like best, and it is peaceful, almost sleepy, but in a good way.
