Poetry: Sunsets

The arcing haze of sunset
Low clouds across the water
Spinning threads of golden silk
Light spreads its diamond net

Glimmering silver shore
Meets the ever ebbing tide
Violet hues melting into blue
Burning orange at its core

Lower yet colors still arise
Reflecting pink and violet
Margins ever so narrow
Where ocean meets the sky

Blackness deceptively slow at first
Grey brush strokes from up above
Ebony pushes in from top to bottom
The canvas set for stars to burst

Flickering candles blow through the skies
Soft, sweeping moonlit night
Feeling forever still and full
Gives birth effortlessly to glorious sunrise

    They merge together, the darkness and the light,
    In a dance of colors, resulting in a cascade of sight.
    With all the colors

    There are sunsets of crimson

    And sunsets of gold

    Sunsets of orange, yellow,

    And maroon I am told.


    But the most beautiful
