Sunset

My breath gets taken away
as I stare into the sky in awe
I see that the skies truly do
declare the work of His hands
for what else could bring
day into existence with those colors
and still bring it to a close
in even more gorgeous colors
the inspirational picture of it
burns in my heart and my mind
I close my eyes to let it sink in
because all too soon
the image will be gone
only to come another time
I long for it to go on just a little longer
because it's like I'm in another world
where there's only serenity and peace
my heart starts to melt in the intensity
as the sun starts to leave and waves goodbye
