Orange Glow

What is it about the sunset that brings such strong emotions?

The force of nature itself witnessed by feeble human eyes. Making us stop in wonder, attempting to understand the power and grace of this act. Each day, waiting, at dusk, a fire burning out. My heart pours out the thoughts and feelings of the passing day. Remembering all that I have seen and participated in, watching a glorious light fade. Wondering what comes next.

Anxious for the dark. Then there will be a new light, a moon and stars to brighten the sky. Still, I am stuck to the orange glow that stains the trees and plants. Desperate for it to stay.

Desperate for time.
