The sunset sky dazzling with the golden hues,
Taking bow in brilliant sparkle of experience
Is it not a climax, of the story so far, that was today?
Or is it building anticipation of the night yet to come.
Watch the days go, some proud of their accomplishments
Some leaving sighs of disappointments,
Leaving all in awe of its Amaranthine twists and turns
And the fortunate get to see the moon
trying to steal the show from setting sun,
Oh she is such a show off, isn’t she,
basking in reflected glory ..
Its magical, Puzzling, sometimes just like a riddle,
Leaving the nature stunned and amazed
For it has been filling the canvas whole day with colours
And now the sunset threatens to hide them all
And in the dark all colours will be same
A cue to be taken by the wise.
Sunset Sky has so much to offer,
is she not a fine example of how uncertain a life can be
Often reminding no matter what you planned,
there will be some unexpected returns
For End has its own brain, its own script
Charting its own course
So why just the beginning,
every moment of the life should be grand,
meted with equal passion and fervor
She has been so clever; the sunset sky
Leaving Twinkling cryptic messages for the night sky
For even the dark has sparkle and hope if you keep your head up,
A constant reminder that
Exuberance is an attitude of deep, rich, warm hearts
I want my sunset sky to be grand, magical,
and full of stories of my life that has been
And its memories to linger on in this world,
in the tomorrow and a few more years to come…

Your mastery of words and imagery is so astounding. You draw me in with exquisite explanations then permeate my thoughts with color and belief. Your faith is very beautiful. Lovely work
Thanks for such a wonderful comment VW
Very lovely and enchanting, Soma!
Thanks Lauren:-)
The sky turning into a different hue
is it not because of the angle of view?
and as the setting sun bids adieu
it teaches us many lessons too
what seems lost will come up anew.
Dazzling as the evning sky,Soma.
Govind the beautiful words you say
encorage me and makes my day
Very lovely. I enjoy writing sunrises and sunsets in my work because of the chance to work with words and a color palette.
Steven cant thank you enough…you always have encouraging warm words…thanks again:-)
‘I want my sunset sky to be grand, magical,
and full of stories of my life that has been
And its memories to linger on in this world,
