Sunset

Nighttime falls
spreading slowly
over the city

The sun left
it’s mark

First as a bright
shining orange
then pink
a hint of red

Vibrant colors 
disappear slowly

Deep blue
encompasses the sky
the pale sunlight
changing into 
darkness

and it faded
into the soft
sad color
that is now

Indigo.
