Sunset
Above the trees and mountains high
Behold the canvas of the sky
The last rays of a golden sun
Strikes where earth and sky are one
Wispy clouds adding depth to the scene
Who knows what beauty this eve will bring
The red of warning before a storm
Orange fire to stun and warm
The shy shade of a pastel rose
Or a pink so bold it glows
Then comes the hour of twilight calm
The birds ceasing their cheerful songs
Purple spreads across the sky
A palate of blues filling the eyes
Lights fades the colors are gone
Until the rising of the next dawn
