Sunset Extraordinaire

That ‘Glorious Sun'
High yet low, ephemerally horizon crested 
Fulgent orange
Brightest I have ever seen
Achromatic clouds,
traversing an immense sky
shimmering citrus-hued accents
Brilliant rays acclivitous to heaven
And I, breathlessly iterating
“God...You're awesome”
I feel the ‘Spirit'
The downbound resplendence of Jesus...on us
Always... the ‘Son' is shining
I feel the warmth of His rays
He IS ‘The Light'
In Him life is victorious!
Oh! The profoundness of a
'Sunset Extraordinaire'!
