Sunset

A bright light
Doeseth shine on my face
And the path of glowing waters
Leads me to a colorful heaven.
The light falling down from the sky
To meet new faces on a sunny day.
Leaving me in the midst
Of darkening colors turning black as night.
I sit here mesmerized
By the amazing blends of light and water.
At last I am alone with the stars in the sky.
And they sparkle down upon me
As I gaze and adore their unfair beauty.
