I watch the sunset rays illuminate the darkness
Dissipated through my room,
Embrace the sandstone buildings, kissing the closing rosebuds,
Raising crestfallen spirits.

I watch the children afar dancing and playing
All but while they watch the Mother disappear.
Frantically trying to grasp the dynamic clouds
Within their innocent hands.

A gentle breeze of warmth catches me off guard
Admiring nature's beauty as another day sets sail.
I watch the sky converge in many colours
And clouds turn from white to pink.
Welcome night time light, your stay is always longing.

Before long the blanket from above is stained as blue
With patches of black and white, stirring as a hue.
Curtains wave calmly in that warm, alluring breeze
A monarch of the winds.

The wispy veil of incense floats around me
A scent as sweet as an ocean breeze
As I close my eyes to sleep,
I remember the sunset in all her glorious ways.

I will not forget her true and utter beauty
To turn darkness into shades of orange, blue, pink.
Her warm and comforting breezes from afar
Whispering the promise of a defiant return.

Until that day arrives, around my finger
I will twirl the clouds of incense
And silhoutte of light through my curtains
In hope she will return to me once more,
To emblazon darkness with light.
