Whirls of sunset spun up in the sky 

Shadows of trees unable to reflect, 

Swirls of violet and bubblegum tints of dye 

The beauty one not to neglect.

A rim of yellow seeps below

Warming up the bubblegum with its glow

Dark purple stripes like watercolor strokes

How enthralling what emotions pretty colors can invoke?

I exhale a breath, 

Glance around my surroundings

Another day is gone 

The Sun has set.

Another day has passed, the colors have melted.

I can’t wait to admire cotton candy skies again.
