The Concert in the Park

I watched the brilliant
orange sun fall below
a distant row of
trees as a throng
of people filled the
inner city park for
the concert here tonight.

A hint of moisture
touched my skin in
the warm summer breeze,
from the old marble
fountains stream of water
trickling gently behind me.

The band began to
sing to all their
fans, and the music
rang from the stage
as the crowd screamed
with sounds of applause.

A massive oak tree
stood tall upon the
center of the park
lawn, with a canopy
of thick green foliage
shadowing us all.
