All Poets Love Colorful Sunsets

I have watched and admired the astonishing beauty of a sunset,
usually at this time, dreamers and lovers put their thoughts to rest.


It isn't a surprise to know that all poets love colorful sunsets,
why would I reveal this secret to those dreamy, sleepy heads?   


Am I one of them, begging time to slow down instantly,
to let me contemplate all the colors of a pretty tapestry?


But who weaved it with such sheer perfection and exquisite taste?
Were hands ever used, or was it a powerful voice saying, " Create! "   


Some don't believe it was created by a Supreme Being who chose the delicate hues
to enhance the dazzling sunset with a divine touch...why are they still so dubious?


There was an apparent reason why God gave peaceful sunsets a different image...
to fill the believer's heart with that immense awe and praise His sacred name.


And with the true conviction that all poets love colorful sunsets,  
I declare their magnificence while the evening peace spreads.
