Evening falls

There is a quiet peace about the setting sun.
The slow fade and darkening hours set the tone for evening.
A time when the work is done.
With anticipation of whats to come has special meaning. 
She heads out for a big adventure, against the rising moon.
The tires roll over top the uneven bumpy country road. 
As the colors of the sky contrast day swoon.
Evening comes closer with each passing mile, life slowed.
The full moon shines out in the twilight.
Peaceful sounds in the distance awaken her mind.
 A slow breeze captures the beauty of the night.
With each passing mile, a quiet place she might find.
A silhouette against the white abyss.
Lost in thought as evening falls.
Infatuated with the sunset bliss.
Dreaming of heavens golden halls.
She loves this closer walk with God.
A joy to be alone in His presence.
To soak in all the day has brought leaves her awed.
So thankful to know His omnipresence. 
"I have one desire now- to live a life of reckless abandon 
for the Lord
putting all my energy and strength into it."
~Elizabeth Elliot
