Sunset Reset
You can watch a melting skyline in a blinding flash of light
And your retina and memory remember it was bright
But the aftermath of colors darkening to purple haze
Is an ever changing picture of the measure of your days
Capturing the moment to imprison it in time
Is a trap that trips the torment of a memory so fine
That words are unessential and the moment is divine
So go and paint your pictures and write ten thousand words
I’m off to see a sunset through the eyes of myriad birds
And later in our lifetime as we count the days of bliss
You can envy us our memories of sunsets you have missed
Of words we left unspoken and looks exchanged as thought
Of promises unbroken and a sharing that we caught
There are times gone unremembered and time for even more
But in the end of twilight there is no-one keeping score
For the clarity of vision in the twilight of the day
Brings a truer hue of color to the memories that stay
