On a calm and cloudy evening
When the sky promises a storm to follow
We are reminded with the last of light
The grace and brilliance of a sunset
Light leaving, lingering and clinging
In shades of red like magenta, crimson, salmon and scarlet
Dancing like flames in the sky to the west at twilight
Only through those clouds
Can we find such beauty
Can we find such depth to an otherwise simple dark blue sky
Look
Look beyond your horizon
For there lies tomorrow
Though today we enjoy its spectacular display
Burdened by both anticipation and acceptance
Because we know a storm is drawing near.
