Sunset

With shades of pink, orange and red
the birds stopped singing their song
With the sun sinking behind the horizon
another day is gone.

The once warm breeze now has ceased
as a coolness filled the air 
And as the sun slowly disappeared
there was a stillness everywhere.

As the colours slowly blended together
and I watched the sun go down
The beauty of nature transcends -
its magnificence all around.

Now the shades of colour in the sunset
as they slowly dissipate
Nocturnal life comes alive
as the daytime turns to night.

Sunset is a beautiful time....when the birds begin to settle for the night and the creatures of the night awake.    To watch the colours fuse together, creating a kaliedescope of reds, oranges, pinks and greys....then darken to night.   I love this time, especially to watch the sun set over the water, and on a summer's eve to feel the air cool after a hot day.
It's magical and I always want to be able to enjoy
one of God's awesome sunsets!
