Sunset

[CodieCW]

The beauty of a sunset
is a splendor to behold,
sometimes the sky's afire
with tints of red and gold.

Then other times it's gentle
like a lovers soft embrace,
enthralling us in grandeur
to be blessed with such a place.

How special are these moments
that nature lets us see,
Moments where our spirits
will struggle to be free.

These moments, when they find us,
bring contented inner peace,
moments that we purge ourselves
and give our souls release.

We see how small we really are
next to nature's majestic age,
it grants us humbling moments
when pondering this awesome stage.

This is a union as day
couples with the night,
a dance of perfect harmony,
joining darkness with the light.

When these two forces come together,
they are more united than when apart,
we stand to learn so much from
this display of divine art.

Embrace the feeling within your heart
when nature opens the door,
for if you do you will find
you are granted so much more.

As Mother Earth prepares for slumber,
it's enough to make one pray,
for the gift of seeing this miracle
again another day....
