Bright Red Heart of Sunset
Bright Red Heart Of Sunset
Within the bright red heart of sunset,
glowing and glowing thus,
blasts of fires mold those colors
that may stir divine thoughts in us.
Shadows ease in as a crimson sun sinks,
they grow boldly and silently;
between our shielding rapid eye blinks
protecting from light seen too directly.
Tomorrow may bring another ball of fire,
in its steady burn we may see,
images of human dreams, lusts and desires
and find some of what we truly be.
O' red sun why do you not tell us more,
we that stand blind and desperately implore?
