A Sunset Spills

an orange glow spills..
inch by inch covers my world..
then slips by to dark..

Many a sunset has spilt it's colours only to be consumed by the dark. It's surely a time when one accepts the dark, for we know that it is momentarily. Good luck in the contest Michael. Have a lovely Sunday :)
