Janae Coe - Sunset

Orange, pink, red, and yellow
combine in a million and one
different combinations to make
the perfect color for the perfect day

All creatures, Big and small
gaze at your beauty each night
as you move through the sky
ending the day, as death ends life

No matter how far one reaches
one will never be able to grasp
you in their hands to keep you
safe and warm

No matter how fast one paints
one will never be able to completly
capture your essence and beauty
on one simple canvas

Sunset you evade me, at every possible moment

Janae Coe
