I saw the sun set today.
It’s beautiful colors
cascading the evening sky.
As the sun lowered,
I watched with amazement
As the colors
and the sky it self had changed.
So different, yet just as beautiful
A different shade of orange or purple,
the clouds subtly change places and shapes.
And as each moment passed I watch how slowly
and how subtle the changes were.
The clouds were always moving and changing,
The colors moving from one shade to the next .
It was beautiful to watch.
And then I thought of YOU
I was distracted from the beauty for only a moment.
The changes that occurred were no longer subtle and amazing
It was abrupt, as if looking at a different sky
Maybe a different day, either way,
the moment was gone I was not one with the sky
Yes the sunset was still beautiful,
but the distraction took something away.
I turned for just a moment
and I was no longer part of the sky
and it’s slow moving dance across the sky.
I tried to get the moment back,
but it was different.
The warm feeling I felt was missing.
This was a new music that started in a different place.
As I sat and watched the sunset slide into the darkness,
I felt as if I had been here before.
And then I thought of YOU
