The languid lake lays soft and still,
as crepuscular sunset steals over the horizon.
The blue waters are calm and tranquil,
reflecting the sky's entrancing beauty above.
Flames of amber sear the clouds,
red embers burning beneath a yellow haze.
Pale blue beneath rosy pink is shroud,
fading into darker purple and then away.
Blinding saffron glowing bright!
Blinding upon the cloud's soft edge.
Burning brighter. Almost white!
Then drifting into a gentler shade.
Pastel hues shimmer below,
glimmering melodies that dart hither.
Colours that into another flow,
pink, saffron, amber and blue all gleam.
Like a painting made from a haze,
misty shimmers dance to the sighs below.
Walk along. But halt and gaze,
the sunset sky is made twins for you.
