The Sun Sets the Horizon On Fire

To sit while the sun sets the horizon on fire
With each rolling hill making light sail
Along the tides of earth. 
There is a certain beauty to it all. 

How each scene like a painting 
Upon this great canvas 
Is never quite the same
Nor detracted from the day

How radiantly each moment shines. 
And though each work seems like the last - 
Entirely distinct - vivid in memory.
Before being burned by an orange sky. 

The night tuned to ashes,
Distant white hot embers
Shine as a memory of each day
Though - too far to remember
