Silent Sunset Poem by Jessi Hardison

Lavender to scarlet
Leads sapphire to onyx
Brilliant noon to magnificent midnight
Time is carried on the wings of the phoenix

His fire lights up the sky
He is mute, for the hues are his call
Hemisphere to hemisphere
In his beauty basking all

So many miss his grace
Not taking the time to accept his gift
When it is taken, it is not forgotten
There is no need for words in his uplift

It is peace
For reality we forget
When we stop to admire
The silent sunset
