The sun is setting
Marking the end of the day
Night is upon us
As the light fades away
The sky becomes a blanket
Of wondrous colors galore
As the moon makes her entrance
The sun shines no more
All becomes quiet
As the earth prepares to sleep
The waters become still
As the moon reaches her peak
The sun has now settled
But what an exit she did make
Taking away my breath
Beautiful colors in her wake
Knowing I’ll never forget her
And the beauty I’ve just seen
Her colors etched in my memory
No greater beauty could I dream
I close my eyes till ‘morrow
Anticipating her rise again
To see her light and guide my way
Feel her warmth upon my skin
And then another rapturous sunset
Will I be able to again behold
As the sun sets into the heavenly skies
And the moon and stars take hold
