Gloaming Glory Fiery orb of living luminous light descending slowly before the sea at the edge of the horizon, I am one with you, connected through the cosmos divinely. Your photosynthesis runs through my veins like the pliant plants. As I close my eyes in contemplation I may still elegantly envision your bright ball of golden glow. A denizen of diamonds coruscates undulating across the sea leading a path to you in your most glorious moments. I reach out my arms to you as you reach out your last rays to embrace me with your loving crimson colors. I bathe baptized by your beauty. In breathless sighs I gasp at your bonniness blessing me as I reveal my soul is connected to you and through you. Let me savor each moment before you vanish, sinking beneath the sea, near me, and all becomes blush, hushed in temporary terrestrial mourning of your absence. Adieu sweet Sol! 4-11-20 ~First Place~ Slipping Soul Sunsets into the Sea Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke Happy Easter Everyone!
