Disappear With a Wink

Gray clouds change the mood
As I watch them take over
The light, colorful sunset

But sunlight reaches
The edge of ominous clouds
Moving with lining of hope

Across the background
Where blue dominates the sky
Mixed emotions passing by

Light and dark transform
Rapidly as the sun sets
Blue fades to white into night

Through the trees so still
Thoughts linger in tints of pink
Then, disappear with a wink
