The Dreaming Sunset

The sky leaned in as waves caught fire
Melted clouds brushed hues upon drifting shores
Tranquil sounds whisper to an eager heart
As the spirit opens a hidden door

The sun closes its eyes with a gentle sigh
Sweeping the sea in a sunset painted flame
Shadows bowed in prayer for the twilight
Seeking the night to call their name

Within the soft glow the soul found rest
As dreams of courage begin their reign
The heart finds comfort in the warm fading light
Knowing dawn will rise to embrace again

Carry On

Traveling endlessly on my chosen path
I often wonder when I will reach the end
Where I can bask next to sunset waves
As my soul threads my life with eternal silk
To then be set free on the ocean of time

I always have doubts of where I'm going
But never regret the experience I've seen
My legs are tired driven by the air of hope
So I carry on with a purpose in my lungs
Until I arrive where the sunset kisses the sea

Sunset Poem

Sitting alone on the west coast sand,

Doing nothing but feeling sand in my hands,

With the waves crashing and mist sprinkles my face,

I know I rather be no other place,

For which I am about to behold,

Is a beauty that cannot be bought or sold,

Colors so vivid and bright,

It’s the closest thing on earth to a heavenly sight,

It’s a beauty seen with my eyes and felt with my heart,

I live for every moment until it starts to go dark,

I have not a single care in the world,

Not even a chance to utter a single word,

For this beauty I see has captivated my attention,

That even time itself is stuck in suspension,

I see this sight that is so divine and so pure,

So beautiful that even sadness can be cured,

Now that the sun is gone and the stars start to usher in,

I await the next day to witness this beauty again.
