The Sunset

A poem.

As work begins to slow down,

And day’s light starts to fade.

I find myself outside. Watching-

The sun drown in the ocean of shade.

A star of energy, of explosions, of heat,

Finds a moment to rest behind the mountains,

Taking a seat.

Glancing up at the stars that greet,

Remember me for faster sign in

Warmly.

Witnessing the earth slowly breathe,

In golden.

Watching the birds retreat,

In their nests.

As day’s purpose is finally complete.

And the dark warmly blankets the fluorescence.

The moon’s presence, an assurance,

Allowing the sun to finally settle down-

In peace.
