SUNSET

Image
A beautiful evening sunset, A sight so pure and bright, The sky ablaze with colors, A canvas of oranges and reds, so right. The sun sets in the west, A ball of fire, so bold and grand, A sight to soothe the soul, A view that's beyond our command. The clouds turn pink and purple, A reflection of the sun's warm glow, A reminder of life's beauty, And a reason to watch the world below. The birds return to their nests, As the day comes to an end, And the world is filled with peace, A moment for us to befriend. So let us cherish this moment, This beautiful evening sunset, For it's a gift from above, And a memory we won't forget.
