I watched the sunset last Sunday night, I'd been walking at the beach and it was so lovely I decided to sit a while, something I would not normally do when alone.
I was feeling lonely for various reasons and as I sat there in the fading light I thought of how the sunset can bring mixed feelings; it's like losing something and yet it's often so beautiful so it feels okay to accept that loss with such splendour to see.
A few thoughts came to me and I decided a little later to try and put them down in words. I'm not sure if they convey what I thought or felt but below is how they came out as I wrote.
I took this image
Stolen light - the darkness fools my eyes
Sun slipping west and there light glows
It takes away but gives anew - sunrise
Golden rays of warmth a beginning it bestows
Colours and hues give way to night - one last glance
Natures splendour - a masterpiece comes to mind
It's an end and beginning, there's more perchance
What was, what is, and the future entwined
There's colour and shade neither willing to lose
And me sitting there, lost in beauty and romance
Heart filled with him and the future I choose
Loving our life, our never-ending dance
