Sunset

The day has cooled,
the sun setting in the west.
At the horizon
The sky is liquid fire
brilliant oranges
changing to pinks and purples
greens to deep blues
stars shining on the eastern horizon.

But I see the fire and light
and put my arm around you
Look up at you with pleading eyes
And we dance to the music of our souls.
