Evening Sky

Blue, violet, and magenta masterpiece
Brushed with mounds like white cotton 
Rainbows streaming down sunbeams 
Intertwining amongst pillows of light
Drifting, spiraling downward
Covering the earth in elegance
Gracing many a mountains face
Illuminating sand and stones
Creating paintings upon the soul

This is an awesome picture. I have seen sunset like these in Negril, Jamaica. I did not think I could capture in words and wished always I was a painter ... you are the artist extraordinaire, and your canvas is my mind's eye. Love it.
