The Sunset

On a windy afternoon,
Sitting just along the seawall,
It’s an orange hours once again,
As I call my surroundings that way .

Yet, it’s so natural.
So warm and tender.
Such a beautiful scene
The way the sun sets.

You can see how it moves slowly
Til it touches the horizon.
Suddenly, from this full rounded thing
It drops to a half concave,
And you realize, it’s gone.
Darkness suddenly covers everything.

What a wonderful scene.
When life is like a sunset.
When you say hello, and goodbye…
And hello again…
Because it’s the way it is.
