I watched the sunset last Sunday night, I'd been walking at the beach and it was so lovely I decided to sit a while, something I would not normally do when alone.
I was feeling lonely for various reasons and as I sat there in the fading light I thought of how the sunset can bring mixed feelings; it's like losing something and yet it's often so beautiful so it feels okay to accept that loss with such splendour to see.
A few thoughts came to me and I decided a little later to try and put them down in words. I'm not sure if they convey what I thought or felt but below is how they came out as I wrote.
Stolen light - the darkness fools my eyes
Sun slipping west and there light glows
It takes away but gives anew - sunrise
Golden rays of warmth a beginning it bestows
Colours and hues give way to night - one last glance
Natures splendour - a masterpiece comes to mind
It's an end and beginning, there's more perchance
What was, what is, and the future entwined
There's colour and shade neither willing to lose
And me sitting there, lost in beauty and romance
Heart filled with him and the future I choose
Loving our life, our never-ending dance

Sunsets have a unique way of bringing an air of melancholy to people. Maybe it's because of how it is usually portrayed in media, or a natural feeling of humans when the biggest source of light is disappearing.
They have a way of doing that don't they? I have no clue why, but I'll accept it simply because they are so beautiful.

First of all, before reading you I put the music on, to read with that emotion with which you wrote and it is beautiful.
That song is beautiful and the poem even more, a lot of emotion, feeling, love, nature and eternity... Immensely blessed Becca.
Thank you!❤️
It's a lovely song isn't it? I'm glad you liked it.
The poem; reading it back now makes me think it's all a bit silly and I feel quite self-conscious about it but it's there now, I can't take it back, so I'll have to deal with it. Thanks for commenting though, I appreciate that.

No, it's not silly, it's the expression of a feeling at a given moment and feelings are the most wonderful thing in the universe. It is very beautiful and happy that it is there, it is your creation and part of you.
Hugs Becca.❤️
I love sunsets
They are nice.
