So this poem came to me while driving home from work. It was a long day and I was merging on to the freeway heading towards the pacific ocean. As I looked out in to the darkness of night, I thought about what the sunset would look like as it sinks in to the ocean. Then I thought, that would make a great poem! During the rest of my drive I was just trying to remember the words in my head so I could write it down once I got home. Luckily, the words stayed with me so here it is!
On the beach under the sky so blue
The descending brilliant orange hue
That ball of heat, a flame so bright
Foretelling of the dark of night
The ocean calls the setting sun
Once it sinks, the day is done
The sea now inked like indigo
The clouds begin to lose their glow
As the sky transforms to black
The beauty of just moments back
Retained in mind and memory
But night is now reality
