Rosy


Sunset tints the sky a rosy hue,
       Where the lilac seas crash out of view,
   Pink cotton clouds beckon me to stay,
Where the white roar of the waves jet spray,

The sky and the sea meld into one,
   Magenta reflections of the sun,
        The water glitters all rouge and blush,
Just standing there makes my feelings gush,

How can I describe that twilight scene?
      Pale fuchsia fashioned sunbeams serene
   Mirrored on the lavender ocean ~
God’s hand in awe-inspiring motion.

Brilliant with color and hues of God's sunset painting Jo. We are truly blessed that God paints beauty every day and we don't even have to go to a gallery! It's just there free as grace. Blessings. Congratulations on your win!
