Sunset

rrodriguez

 

The sun is slowly walking away

Gently kissing the saddened sky

My words hushe’d and unsaid

As I look at the melancholic, golden sunset

                                        

The hues of sun colors linger

As the dreary sea rests,

The candle-yellow and red-flared

Rays splash the somber sky

 

The pools of shimmering colors, 

colors bursting with sadness

In my eyes, whispering adieu to

The veiled-sun in slow decline

 

The twinkling and dazzling of stars

Are starting to dance before my eyes

My spirit is quickened at such display

My God, My God thank you for the sunset

    Gracias RR ~ A beautiful tone poem ~ In my minds eye I saw every shimmering shade as the Sun sank slowly in the west. There are thousands of sunsets (and sunrises) every day and every one is very different. Yours BRIAN
