I wait in passion
For the moment of beauty
For the sunset to paint an art
On the clouds, on the ocean
In the sky, in my heart
I watch with emotion
As the moment comes to pass
Colors splash across the sky
Hues of orange and glowing violet
A beauty hard to portray
I gaze in awe
As the orb kisses the ocean
The horizon set ablaze
Enfolding me into the warmth
In symphony of blue and red
I stand still, mesmerized
As the sunset disappears
To another place, another town
To appear as pretty sunrise
For an admirer who waits

What beautiful words to describe the sun setting into the ocean.

I'm such a lover of sunset, so I really enjoyed this. Sunsets for me are my favorite time of the day. I find them deeply spiritual.
Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely poem. I think the last time that I have written a poem was in grade school (since it's a requirement). You have a way with words.
ReplyDeleteYo do have a way with words, more so - a way with interpretation.
