Sunset



Sunset in Summer
is filled with exotic wonder.
Watching it, carries me
on celestial wings far and above.
And the sun lingers,
as if in regret-- to unwillingly set.

In Fall hues are dramatic,
blue, yellow, purple and gray,
and the clouds surrounding,
are blown in translucent array.

Comes Winter-- sunset is brief,
as if on a ride to a far-off retreat,
but Spring breaks the spell
that winter will never end,
the sun appears in splendor
with rainbow colors in full span,
and sunset , again, blends
the renewal of nature and man.

God's wholesome creation,
each Season, a print in the circle of life
flight over valley, mountain or high tide,
sunset, witness to no error in site.
