Every sunset brings the promise of a fresh new dawn. Gone is the stress of the day's dramas and challenges. The canvas of life in glowing colour is drawn. The sky radiantly speaks in sweet splendour of colour. Collaring the moon in a ring of smooth gradient hues. Lifting our troubled souls up from life's murky squalor. Each sunset can colour your dreams and your deeper hopes. Breathing many new visions in to your heart's desires. Creating new possibilities with new scopes. The sunset is woven of soft and tender textures. Each ethereal thread sewn with God's perfect loving care. Creating levels of celestial Vestures. Our day flushed with beauty, one more rose on God's rose-tree. The escalation of a beautiful creation. Where in our reverence we will pray with bended knee. Crown of amber gems glitter upon an ether sky. Reveals to us the true purpose of Gods' grand design. We await on our saviour as redemption draws nigh. Blazing gold, quenched in purple, glow like a sky on fire. We can feel within the power of a living God. As we join with the angels in a virtuous choir. Where a sunset's turquoise gleam reveals a hidden moon. The revelation of an angelic guardian. Playing on both harp and lyre a sweet somnolent tune. Oh, the beauty of a sunset viewed from where I stand. The vast panorama of all of Gods' creation. And now here I am but a small grain of wind tossed sand. Soft sunset, bright daylight closes as we close our eyes. Holding forth the fresh fragrant promise of tomorrow. Calling to our souls to ascend, take flight and arise. MJ Flack
