The sunset was like a fire-sky
That truly lit up my world
Clouds were orange and yellow
Like a paintbrush making swirls
The beauty was overwhelming
But a little bit frightening as well
It raged as though with fury
As it all began to swell
The colors were also reflected
In the lake where trees surround
It was quiet as I stood mesmerized
There was barely a single sound
I saw some fellows out fishing
Their bodies in semi-dark
Nothing looked quite real
The lake looked cold and stark
I doubt that I will ever see
A sunset just like this again
The entire sky so unimaginable
In a shocking kind of blend!
I have witnessed a few beautiful moments like that and your description is breathtaking. Great read! Loyd
Fire-sky is a good description in itself. We are not always prepared for beauty. It can be overwhelming at times.
One could endlessly write about the sunset, it is so mesmerizing and different every time you look. I always stand in awe looking at it. Lovely write again. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Lovely images you create here, Marilyn...a fire-sky...beautiful and frightening...yes...the phrase 'barely a sign of sound' goes very well with the word- frightening...the expressions ‘bodies in semi dark’ and ‘nothing quite real’ add to the vividness of the beautiful yet frightening bleeding sun set scene...marvelous write...10+
