Sunsets

Purple, pinks

Oranges and yellows

All merge together

To form a beautiful sky

 

With small amounts

Of shades of blues

Mixed in at times

To create a masterpiece

 

Every one so different

So unique

So wonderful

In its’ own way

 

Sunset you have

A unique power

A way

To make people stop

 

Your sweet colors

Have captivating power

To enjoy your beauty

To enjoy your wonder

 

Purple, pinks

Oranges and yellows

Even some blues

Create such beauty

It takes my breath away.

I like your gentle style. I really like these lines especially:
"Sunset you have
A unique power
A way
To make people stop"
It was something that I think we all do when a sunset is so beautiful, and yet, I don't think I have ever seen it said that way or the point actually being made as you did here. It is so true....it really can stop everything just to gaze at it before it fades. They fade so quickly.
