SUNSET ROUTE

Through the mist, out toward the horizon,
I see divine beauty of a golden sunset.
The radiant colors speak so vividly to me
capturing my speechless heart;
mesmerizing my quiet soul.
Feelings I never knew existed inside of me surface
as peaceful serenity awakens my hidden desires.
I want so much to touch the symmetry
so far from my hearts reach.
I feel comfort of frightened, lost souls
aimlessly wandering through the cold, dark night.
I see smiles on the faces of bitter hearts.
I hear laughter through the cries of lonely children,
through her observant eyes of love, of passion.
I hope the luminous sunsets remain young with
time, for they are light through darkness;
comfort through heartache, they are hope
through despair; beauty through ugly.
They are one of God's most cherished creations
placed high so all can fancy.
May God's sunset route forever shine, through
the calm, through the storm, come what may.
