Sunset

on the waning edge of day
sunset rolls white clouds to pink and amber strands
             sifting back and forth
             like ideas framed by indecision 
this sprawling vista
a quiet glide between hope and trepidation

gold-pink clouds knotted in warm stretches of glow
drifting into scattershot lives
pushing
pulling
like threads of firebrand fury

pleated folds of color
a sunset
marginalized to go
menaced by the hermit thoughts of night
leaving a restorative resolve
to look beyond one's self
earth-bound
to stir the life-fire within
