Sunset

I know of her

That many have chased

Her, that has kept time waiting

Her, that has taught many patience

---

I know of her

A beautiful sight to behold

Chase if you must

Because she is a beauty!

---

But on some days

She’s chasing me

She’s stalking me

She’s many a warm hue

---

And for some minutes, she lingers

Streaking curtains, painting walls

Even bold to caress a face

But not for long

---

Sunset, she is

A feisty orange

A flaming red

Sometimes, a hypnotizing pink
