I sit upon this rock the highest point it’s called, from here you can see so clearly everything before you especially this moment which always captures me enthralled. A scene of beauty that happens every day, but one which we usually let pass us by if only we’d take time to look to the west and stare up into the sky. Watch the sun set sliding down the horizon, soon the moon will take over as watchman as it bids the sun be gone. As it goes to bed for us for others it is starting to wake, for us it is the evening now becoming late. For us it is approaching dusk while for others it is a new morning, as we close our eyes, others are opening theirs, for them a new day is dawning. The further down it goes the more it spreads its rainbow glows, plastering the sky with vivid pinks, striking blues, rich golds, fiery reds and royal purple hues, colouring the clouds with its glory dying them for a short while, I always think they look like they’ve been to the hairdressers this thought always makes me smile. As in the distance lights flick on as it gradually gets more dark, as houses suddenly switch on their electrics and cars becoming little moving sparks. Scurrying opaque ambers, dots of regal ruby, clear quartz illuminating the small town square as the moon now comes on duty. For all that is left of the sun is a splash of hazy yellow, just a few seconds ago it was so striking but now it is starting to mellow. Joined by indigos, navy and black, stars keep their big companion company a night in the sky they’ll be sat. As twilight descends I suppose you could call it that the sunset is at its end, but just think if you could skirt to the other side of the world and see it starting to rise, wouldn’t that be marvellous…
Chasing the sun across the skies? This is something we rarely enjoy, what with vehicles and machines working non-stop there’s always constant noise, but man has made it so, this is what life has become, but take the time to close off your ears back to nature is the way to go…. As I stay on my perch Waving to the setting sun.
