Painted Skies

painting the world in gold and orange

black silhouettes depicted so clear

as the sun starts to descend on it`s night path

for the horizon`s ablaze from the red hot sphere

rippling waters mirrored across the sky

as elegant swans float over the surface

dark veiled clouds scattered above this great orb

a celestial star that has great purpose 

our giver of life force from the universe

that appears from the east and sets in the west

painting our world in wonderful colours

this majestic sun, we are so blessed!
