The Magic of Sunsets

 

Ever changing colors as the sun surrenders to horizon’s edge

and dusk gives way to encroaching darkness.

A gift of creation to say “well done” for another day of life

on this revolving orb of blue and green and brown. 

Just as each day brings its own flair and flavor,

so each sundown spreads its own palette of blues, purples, golds and corals. 

Some are soft with light strokes of aqua and pink as the day goes quietly to sleep.

Others are bright splashes reflecting on clouds resisting surrender

and making a shouting statement of not going down without a fight.

Sunsets signal a turn in all the events of the day;

night covers like a blanket of quiet and calm and peace.
