Sunset: a Heavenly Inferno

Cool skies turned crimson with autumn colors Clouded flames light the dusky sky ablaze Red, yellow, orange and white melt together Then erupt in cosmic plumes of splendor As liquid pools of lava light flow forth A heavenly inferno does ignite This nightly gift spread upon horizons Is a blessed transition from day to night © 07-14-2012

Wow, what a fantastic display of a beautiful sunset! You brought forth a tangled web of colors blasted upon a lovely horizon! I love the words "erupt", "plumes", and "inferno" to describe the sunset, very awesome! A real delight to read my friend!
