Defiant

Photo of the silhouette of a leafless tree at sunset.

Face-off with the sun
in the middle of nowhere,
one tree stands its ground.

Merge

Photo of the summer sunset as seen from between trees.

Merging into one,
the many shades of orange—
summertime sunset.

The end

Close up photo of a dying rose bud in the foreground, and a blurry view of the sunset in the background.

Flowers have their days;
at long last the time has come,
for the sun to set.

Glowing

Photo of the sky at the anti-twilight arch a few minutes before sunset.

Expansive pink sky
mirroring the setting sun
glowing on its own

Point of view

Photo of wispy, orange clouds at sunset, as seen through a plane’s window seat.

While life feels hazy;
everything’s out of reach—
it’s sunset on air.
