Sunset Reset

You can watch a melting skyline in a blinding flash of light And your retina and memory remember it was bright But the aftermath of colors darkening to purple haze Is an ever changing picture of the measure of your days Capturing the moment to imprison it in time Is a trap that trips the torment of a memory so fine That words are unessential and the moment is divine So go and paint your pictures and write ten thousand words I’m off to see a sunset through the eyes of myriad birds And later in our lifetime as we count the days of bliss You can envy us our memories of sunsets you have missed Of words we left unspoken and looks exchanged as thought Of promises unbroken and a sharing that we caught There are times gone unremembered and time for even more But in the end of twilight there is no-one keeping score For the clarity of vision in the twilight of the day Brings a truer hue of color to the memories that stay
