Setting Sun
“Foam is white and waves are grey; Beyond the sunset leads my way.”
– J.R.R. Tolkien
"Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too."
– Beau Taplin
When the day bleeds into nightfall
The warm setting sun paints the sky
Then it descends, the crimson ball
From its lofty perch heaven-high
The sky ignites with crimson fire
A masterpiece, unmatched and bright
Colors ascend, then rise higher
A sunset born of pure delight
And every day, it’s different
But then somehow, it’s all the same
Today’s sunset, unique event
Yet reminds us, yesterday’s flame
Yes, every sunset’s distinctive
Rare, unequaled in its own way
Witnessing can be addictive
Thus, we watch till the skies turn grey
But tomorrow will never be
Simple reflection of today
Changes shape what we’re yet to see
Hours will bring new things into play
So savor now, this fleeting hue
Today’s bright canvas, bold and clear
No other day can share this view
No need to chase what isn’t here
For time moves on, in this one space
The present moment stands apart
This sunset, with its vibrant grace
Lives only now within the heart
