Sunset

Poetry


Sun melts to sky
Bowing down
Bleeding her orange
Ending a day of shine

Can life’s decline be as beautiful
Sink back from which we came
Born tall, forced to shrink

Watch one person fade to night
Sadly over, but glimmering in ripples
Stars remind us of the sky’s refusal to cease

I will trace constellations how I trace our memories
Painting the picture where it looks best
Some light may shine in the end
Melting to sky
