The Summer Sunsets

I love a summer sunset when sunlight takes her leave. Pink and violet in the darkening sky, like ribbons they seem to weave. Colours deepen to indigo and rose as the minutes, they tick by and all too soon they fade to black in the summer, nighttime sky. Sunset is so fleeting. I love to watch the show as pastel colours richen before they take their leave and go.
