Eye-opening

We’re one with nature:
superb summertime sunsets,
through Venetian blinds.

Warmth

Close up photo of a dead rose with the sun setting in the background.

A rose past its prime,
having shed vibrant petals,
seeks warmth in the sun.

Flight

Photo of the sunset on a bed of clouds in the horizon, as seen from a plane.

Flying at sunset
I sleep amongst the heavens—
a pillow of clouds.

Fading

photo of the sun setting behind suburban houses, the sky engulfed in a pinkish orange shade

At the end of day,
lingering shards of sunlight;
shades on a palette.

Shining

Sparkling golden hour:
the sun folds in on itself;
red wine stain remains.
