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 http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/lorena-2.php

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.
