SUNSET - A BRIEF LOOK

BY

Laura Lee Christion

Dazzeling lights
shooting forth from one light source,
the sun,
up and across the sky's illumination
various clouds meet them
and are changed
into illustrious pink
you blond rays of sun
your glorious straight rays
are like to the straight
paths of righteousness
and shine right into my soul,
showing forth
the glory of your creator
you look as if you come booming
out of the clouds
making a halo
for the clear blue sky nearer the horizon,
you resemble the spokes
of half of a giant heavenly wheel
with one or two spokes missing
having been blocked off by a few clouds,
please don't fade and go away
but when you do, we'll wait
for the new day,
replenishing our minds and bodies
with drowsy sleep,
and now some birds fly across
the amazing artwork
printed upon clouds of the sky
a vivid, brief look
at a small glimpse
of the great glories
of the everlasting God.
