Sunset

The sun dips below

the distant hills.

The sky awash with

an array of color.

Pink, orange,

purple, red.

Far away clouds

float lazily

in the air.

Far off mountains

silhouetted in black

Against the day’s

fading light.

When the sun finally

disappears below

The horizon,

A sea of stars

twinkles into view,

and the silver moon

emerges, glowing gently

over the sleeping earth.
