Sunset

Take a frame and save forever    
The colors I did see
Such a sight did eyes see never
All this in a creation you painted just for me

The red and yellow still glare brightly as I ponder
on the scene that was before my eyes
To describe the sight I experienced in wonder 
Has taken me numerous tries

Vibrant trees and a misty mountain
Were placed behind a great green field
As the sky began to darken
Radiant splashes were revealed 

The clouds were as wisps of cotton
All in the world was tranquil and frozen
A breath of sweet oxygen I had gotten 
My lungs experienced an intense explosion 

My pounding heart was overflowed 
 And my watery eyes welled up 
In the quiet stillness a clam voice bellowed
 A song as sweet as the sweetest syrup

The soft, gentle and pale blue sky 
looked so opaque and translucent 
in that instant there was no distance between you and I
For a moment so pure there is no remnant 
However I know that I am yours forever just as you are mine

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
