Molten Sunset

Molten sunset

so beautiful and bright,

life’s eternal gate

letting in the night.

Slowly dimming

allowing darkness to come,

with each new star

sensing the universe hum.

Whether good or bad

the day is through,

time to be close

feel the real you.

Fading and mysterious

yet calm and embracing,

becoming that friend

so needed in life’s pacing.

For some it’s a time

to be active and loud,

still for others

to drift quietly like a cloud.

All of us together

but each of us alone,

seeking life’s comfort

deep down to the bone.

No wonder we love it

flowing different each night,

molten sunset

so beautiful and bright.
