The Promise of Beauty

Looking to the horizon
Waiting for the promise of beauty
The heavens will change from blue and...
Deep oranges and yellows will fill the sky

Red and orange beams shoot...
From the ball of fire falling in the sky
Turning hovering clouds pink 
A landscape that takes my breath away

As the sun falls deeper and deeper
Nighttime draws near 
As I lay my head to sleep
Will my dreams be clear

When I wake to see the sunrise
Will I see the same beauty
When the sun enters the world
As I did when it fell from the sky
