The Art of the Sunset

Sunset colors seem to just appear

As in you can never quite see the change

Just the aftermath

Watercolor on the glass

Deep hues and interesting facts

Our human brains can’t seem to process that

Change, in the simplest form, still scares us

So much so that almost every time I get up,

I have to keep going

Or I won’t find the strength to rise again on a new day.

I glance again at the sunset

And feel the sorrow of a day gone

But also the joy of a day well spent

Living

And breathing.
