Sunset Shimmers

The sun softly shimmers with gold glimmers  
Sanguine sunsets dance such marvelous minuets 
Turning ruby red, he briefly bled 
'neath stunning skies, it seems as though daylight dies 
Revived, reborn each misty morn 
With radiant rays, he deftly displays 
Dawn's luminous light in flourishing flight

Colourful and beautiful, but what compares with the warmth creeping into our bones from the rising sun?
