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

Russell Sivey Date: 7/16/2012 2:14:00 PM 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! Login to Reply
