Passionate Sunset

by Rebecca Hamilton


Gently the sun kisses the lip of the earth starting the fire with a warm loving glow that blankets the blue sky above. Slowly, as the golden orb descends in to darkness the hills seem brushed with flames while clouds dance overhead like golden tipped roses in an exquisite bouquet. Carefully the brilliant sun creeps affectionate tendrils across the ruby sky caressing with fiery love as it dips deeper into regions beyond the sight like a bee dipping into a flower to find the sweet nectar. Quietly the twinkling stars peek out one by one as flowers growing in tender love as the colors of the expanse above deepens into dark blues and purples. Still the sky holds a sliver of gold as the ardent sun disappears across the apparent crevice of the earth in a wonderful burst of guided fireworks that light the now black velvet sky for one more lasting moment. And quietly we lay together, hearts beating, with the amazing splendor of the world.
