A sunset
I love
Even more
The opportunity
To greet its return
It is no different
With the cycle of life
And death
And rebirth
The burst of amber
Draws the eye
With its shameless
Brazen vibrance
A yellow stripe
And smooth asphalt
Winding along
The rocky shore between
I find the rhythm of being
Of a battle
And a castle
Shrouded in grey
But
For fires
Raging
And my loved one
There
Life threatened
The day was long
Night comes on
To fitful
Sleep go I
I wondered who’d been here
Where had they gone
From where had they come
I followed the footfalls
Until their abrupt ending
Swallowed up by the sea
I don’t need to look very deeply
Or with much intimacy
To know the beauty
Of every living being
