“The cliche of the sunset? Well, it just gets me every time. I simply love it!” Gun Roswell
The sunset and the beach
Hanging on the sandy beach late in the eve, watching as the last rays are trying to reach each and every surface. Reflections on the glass blurring, the last rays of the brightly lit sun fading as the darkness is slowly but gently taking over the light of day. But for a moment they will still stay, frozen in mid air and everywhere, painting the skies in all the colours, then ending in bright red, before the time of returning once again, to their respective beds.
One final glance, one final chance to catch the gorgeous display before it has gone, disbursed into the fading glow leaving the night to take over. But there is no worries for the onlooker however, as a guaranteed scene of similar magnitude will return again after this night and the next day is over, a new spectacle will be there and give that same sensation the observers do yearn, a gift from Mother Nature, for all of us worshippers of her great skills coming out to play and throwing a sunset party each and every day again and again.
A moon presented itself above the dim light street It was only a crescent shape but still bright enough to see All the potholes and bumps of the road ahead When making a way towards the current homestead
When nearing the crossroads I spotted an ugly looking toad Large and loud it was making all kinds of sounds But as it got closer I realised it got even grosser
Turned out, it was a vehicle of some type A street bug of sorts, supposedly for the sports It’s headlights so bright I almost got a fright But managed to duck into cover, as I watched it away hover
Then all hell broke lose as several streams of light the night skies fumed A ufo or some kind of search light it was Making those surround me to really fuss
An invasion of a third kind? That’s all right, suites me just fine!
The sky so gorgeous over my head I cannot tear my sore eyes away
Despite this monochromatic view I choose to stand here’s and drool
Painted images with black and white Make a beautiful tableau of the skies Lurking greys are in the shadows But only for the effect as the wind blows
Even without colour the picture is so vivid With my camera going quite livid Palm trees and cloudy sun filled skies This is the place where the true beauty lies
Take a short walk along the long pier Dip your toes into the water when you get there Feel the summer breeze on your burning skin Let the holiday feeling finally sink in
Stay a while at the very end of the pier Let the sunny rays wash away any fears Of letting go of the mundane And embrace the upon coming fun day
Take a slow walk back to the beach Then turn to look at the glimmering sea Just remember you can always return Until it’s time for the leisure time to adjourn
