Sunset

                                             

You brighten my world even for a moment
A captured gaze of tranquility rediscovered
The radiant shadows reflected by your rays
Will keep the vibrance of my soul in many ways. 

I seek the sweetest touch of the ocean
Seeing the waves passes with smooth motion
Its sound befriends my state of mind
Something my soul can never find 

Thus the only time the sun reaches out.
To meet the seas and the mountain top.
Stretching its horizon before a nap.
Bidding a sweet farewell as it drops.
