A sunset

I watch a sunset, its shades a hundred,
In various hues, orange and red,
A tangerine glow, a metallic gold
Vermilion some days, a crimson bold…

A carmine red, some days it does feel,
A satin peach, on the horizon there
A blazing scarlet, or an orange peel
Sometimes it turns amber,as i stare..

When clouds cover it, in purple haze,
When i just can’t see it on rainy days
It burns in an arid desert blaze
It burns and burns, in so many ways…

As the city basks, happily, in the afterglow
Of a glorious sunset, this i know
The wonders of a sunrise await me now,
Before His majestic landscapes i bow…
