Sunset

sketches of crimson break through the peaks
underneath amethyst tones of dusky skies
nesting in the middle, cascading down
sun submerges itself into the ocean's depths
eternal glow from tangerine waves beckons me
tempting me to follow the benign glow of setting sun

Mesmerizing, your poetic thoughts bring the awesome beauty of a sunset to full view. The horizons always seem to bring the most wonderful show at the end (and beginning) of each day. Wonderfully crafted Sandra
