Every night
The horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange
Fading to blue and purple
Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing
That only comes once a day
Each sunset is different
No two exactly alike
Difference flows throughout
While it is the only similarity
Over the ocean
Or through the sky scrapers
Out on the prairie
Or in an apartment
You can still see a piece
A piece of something
Something never to return
A sunset
For the colors are shimmering
For a moment they stay
Only to disappear into change
Change just as beautiful as the last
This is why
No matter where you go
One thing remains the same
A difference in sunsets
In your very own sunset
An angel set the sky ablaze
With an orb of crimson fire—
The smoke that rose was a purple haze
That spread o'er the flaming sky
Then black was the night, like ashes
Remaining after so long a kindling
And here and there in tender dashes
Were ember-stars, pale and cold-appearing
I saw a new angel glide down
And set the moon, like a candle, in the air—
The moonbeams, like a mother's gown
I cling to in my memory
And the warmth of the fire that burned the night
Warmed the hearts of those like me
And the moonlight lit our hearts with a light
That can only be named as joy
Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings
Perhaps you've got some troubles
And don't know what to do
Or you just plain need to get away
To spend a little time with you
Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
Your life has meaning after all
To see a sight so extraordinary
Makes you feel capable, strong and tall
It's funny how flashes of color
Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
It can calm your inner self a bit
It's a scene you can never tire
The serenity gives you a chance
To put things in perspective
Life can be overwhelming at times
And a sunset can be reflective
So when the sky lights up next time
Let your gaze do some drinking
Soak up all the amazing sights
And do some sunset thinking!
I'm am one
