Poetry: Sunsets

by Rachael Kline

As Deep Warm Blues Arise

A somber sky lies upon a dying day

With rosy light and orange tint

As daylight falls but beauty keeps its delay.

The stars appear with a glint

Of sparkles white and shimmers bright.

The lingering sky of polished artistry

Burns a deeper red as if alight

With fire and flame, as sunlight's last fades away.

The shimmers shine brighter still

As deep warm blues arise.

The masterpiece of life quickly fades until

The cover of night is as thick as a dead man's lies.

And now the joyous light is gone, a cloud of solemn black does stay.

Tis now too late hope all the farewells are said and done

And beauteous treasures found and hid away.

Soul remains, while body goes, gone forever like the sun

After the light goes down.
