Sunset


As the blood-red sun sinks into the sea
Beyond the quiet tree-lined sandy beach
The parched Hibiscus and Bougainvillea
Flowers drooping, for water they beseech

Homing birds fly over the sea, green-blue
Above the silhouettes of tall palm trees
Against the sky, a blazing orange hue
As the land is swept by the evening breeze

As the last rays of twilight wave goodbye
And dusk descends in gloom before the night
Casting bashful shadows that hide, so shy
From the rising moon and the stars so bright

Burnt out and weary the sun needs to rest
To emerge at dawn at nature's behest

Live today as if it is your last
For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Lovely words. I've seen a few nice sunsets over the years, where the sun sinks into the sea. It's such a wonderful sight.
Tonight hopefully the full moon will be showing clearly and not hidden by the haze in KL........ happy Vesak Day if you are celebrating.......
