The Restless Poet

The hues brightening the sky as the sun appears to submerge into the lake comfort me. My fascination with the setting of the sun feeds the culmination of emotions from the day colliding and knowing they can be put to rest for at least a brief moment. It carries with it a peaceful end regardless if I’ve been on a roller coaster ride or on a countryside Sunday drive in my thoughts and feelings.

Brilliant shades that change depending on the scattering of light reflect the mystery of my sentiments about the day. The textures of a more vibrant sunset created by the presence of clouds. Though my day may have been overcast with a range of emotions, there is beauty in the struggle in knowing it didn’t consume me. I’m still here to start again with the rising of the sun. The depth of the clouds only emphasizing the spectacular colors and proving there is beauty in every season of life.

Droplets of water can paint a sky purple if the conditions occur at just the right time. A rare picture created by the heaviness of the atmosphere. The pretty pinks combined with the solemn blue sky brings a peaceful calm to settle the chaos as it sinks out of sight. I can acknowledge the darkness of the day without minimizing the slivers of pinks and oranges.

The color-soaked skies with shades of red and orange prove you’ve survived today. The skies unfolding into darkness with a magnificent display of warmth. Bringing comfort like a long embrace. To truly feel the sun bowing to the moon in such a breathtaking scene. A true wonder of the world.

The transformation as the day cascades into night signals the mind to slow down and reflect. The opportunity to rest before starting the journey on a new path. The insistence that I can walk into the transition with calmness. A sign that it is okay to let go of something you love. Proof that some endings give way to new beginnings.

These masterpieces painted by our creator as the sun slowly fades captures the last remnants of the day. An applause for the end of an instant in time. The illustration that there is beauty in the impermanence of life. An amazing prelude to a brighter day. A warm glow of hope for acceptance of what was, a passion to ignite our inner strength and the power of patience. A magnificent sunset delights the senses and brings with it a lasting calmness to a life of peace and a gentle embrace into a sunrise of promise.
