Sunset

Today I watched the sun come down

And she was glorious in her descent

At first hidden by her ever watching chaperones

But all at once released from their guarding presence

Free to return to her resting place

But not without a reminder of her magnificence

Her flare streaks across the ocean

A determined path among restless waves

And as she lays her head to rest

Her garment flows in the sky

Thrills of fire, copper and gold mingle in

to form her flowing train

Today I watched the sun come down

A reminder that after a hard days work of shine

Even she must lay her head down to rest...
