Indigo, shades of darkness, as it
gathers momentum;
swirling, higher, surmounting
enormous heights.
Glowing deeply, shimmers, with
bright orange, cerise light.
Basking, in it's own magnificence;
Warming all.
Settling, back into days own sky;
Pulsing, flexing it's rays.
Sighing, gently, dropping down, to
caress the earth.
Shades of night, drift, in on
air, still warm, so still; From
orb of life, whispers gently,
goodnight.

To take the sun and expand it into such a beautiful extended metaphor is sheer beauty. I could see myself lying there all day watching the sun travel across the sky to finally say goodniight. Your kaledoscope of colors and diction just add to the poem and the imagery you have created. And to keep the stanza short and tight, moves the poem as it travels across the sky, a cycle much like our lives. Another amazing write from you. gregg

I love the imagery in this. You just described the sun as so beautiful and majestic. But I don't really like the style you wrote this in. Sorry. I like the rest of it though. Great write!

Wow that's really cool. I never would've thougth about the sun being an orb, but I guess it really is. You put this in such a beautiful perspective. Thanks for sharing you did a wonderful job!
