Sunsets

 

Sunset

by Jessica Millsaps

Every night 

The horizon lights up

Swirls of pink and orange 

Fading to blue and purple

Few bother to look anymore

At a blessing

That only comes once a day

 

Each sunset is different

No two exactly alike

Difference flows throughout

While it is the only similarity

Over the ocean

Or through the sky scrapers

Out on the prairie

Or in an apartment

 

You can still see a piece 

A piece of something

Something never to return

A sunset

 

For the colors are shimmering

For a moment they stay

Only to disappear into change

Change just as beautiful as the last

This is why

No matter where you go

One thing remains the same,

A difference in sunsets

In your very own sunset.

Have I mentioned how much I like my new camera?
