I saw the sun set today.
It’s beautiful colors cascading the evening sky.
as the sun lowered,
I watched with amazement as the colors
And the sky it self had changed.
So different, yet just as beautiful
A different shade of orange or purple
The clouds subtly change places and shapes
And as each moment passed I watch how slowly
And how subtle the changes were.
The clouds were always moving and changing,
The colors moving from one shade to the next.
It was beautiful to watch.
I was distracted from the beauty for only a moment.
The changes that occurred were no longer subtle and amazing
It was abrupt, as if looking at a different sky
Maybe a different day
Either way, the moment was gone and
I was not one with the sky
Yes the sunset was still beautiful
But the distraction took something away
I turned for just a moment and I was no
Longer part of the sky and it’s slow moving
Dance across the sky.
I tried to get the moment back, but it was different
The warm feeling I felt was missing.
This was a new dance that started in a different place.
As I sat and watched the sunset slide into
The darkness, I felt as if I had been here before.
And then I thought of YOU...

This is a bit of a different pace, and piece, both for and from you. While most all of your works rhyme... this one stands alone, beautiful in its simplicity... as if it were a low-voiced conversation with the one you love, standing before you, her back against your chest... nestled within the circle of your arms.
I am drawn in, as one who might pass behind you, and stop to stare at the back of the solitary man... watching the sun set from the heavens... as if for the first time... wondering what that man might be thinking as he stood there and gazed at the glorious colors being painted before him.
I like this one... the oneness, and yet, the overwhelming sense of:
Solitude.
