“Capturing my imagination of a candle in glorious blaze, My breath extinguishing it to get ready for the dark night haze.” The Poet Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight, I settle to watch, inspired by an instant moment, so true. As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight. Across the horizon created a radiant glow so bright. This magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue. Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight, Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight. Detailing an exquisite hefty crimson etched in view. As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight. Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight. I gaze as the sky bids farewell to the last glimpse of blue. Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight. A sweetness of warmth, a tranquil overtone so light, As the velvety blanket of night begins to unfold so new, As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight. Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, it flickers a perfume too. Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy right through. Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight, As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight.
