Meager Words For A Sun-Set

Words are nothing
There is no substance,
No meaning in them
Hence, my reluctance

A long drive home
At dusk, no less
With my two little gnomes
Getting restless

It was then I looked up
Though, I knew I would see
The moon coming up
Whilst the sun set quietly

What a glorious spectacle, I
Saw in the sky
To say it was silent, was somewhat a lie
Wonders abounded, I beheld with my eye

A magnificent darkness
A blanket of sky
Was cascading west
To say just one more good-bye

Reminiscent of an ocean
With an orange reflecting pool
The sun was centered, open
To the night’s dark clouds so cool

I imagined it sizzled, Oh
A scorch was surely left
As I stared out my window
As I still held my breath.
