James Fraser Poet Quatrain

Orangy Pink Lava Flow

Undulations on the horizon
Leave a most beautiful sight
As their outline becomes clear
Whilst the sundowns at night

Above these darkened ancient
Are different colours of cloud
Their beauty quietly shows
For to me they shout out loud

As the suns about to sleep
I see an orangey pink lava flow
Cascading across the dark
Momentarily a beautiful show

Then suddenly in the blink of an eye
What's seen is now gone forever
For the memory will always live on
When I die, what I've seen, is treasured

Zzzzz Zzzzz October 24, 2011 at 5:19 AM Poetically conveyed, James. I love taking pictures of sunsets (sunrises too). I have taken many over the years. But even without photographical evidence, some of the best ones are etched into my mind.
