Sunset painted a dramatic farewell scene across the bay's horizon, bold and yet serene, in a moment that stole my breath from me as the fading sun slowly drowned in the sea. He was lovingly swaddled by amethyst skies as sanguine clouds whispered their goodbyes. Soon, a silvered moon would take his place, smiling upon the earth with feminine grace.
