Sunset Waves

Lisa R. Strong
On the far horizon;
I can see the setting sun;
A glowing ball of fire;
Now that the day is done;

I wish the one I love was with me;
Sitting right here by my side;
Building castles in the sand;
While watching the evening tide;

The cabana awaits me;
But I don't want to be alone;
I am ready to say goodbye;
But I don't want to come home;

The emptiness would be too much;
It would be more than I could ever bear;
At least I have the shade of a washy palm;
The sand and the salty air;

I can hear the crickets singing;
As I am headed off to bed;
I hear the pounding of the ocean;
As the sky turns into red;

Then I remember that You love me;
Why is this so hard to believe?
You formed me out of nothing;
Like the earth and like the sea;

Then I feel myself smile inside;
As I close the door behind;
The fragrance of sweet orchids;
Permeates my mind;

Then to sleep o sweet and dreamy;
As I close my eyes;
I wonder will I wake tomorrow;
To sun or stormy skies;

In the end, it doesn't matter;
Each day is a gift for free;
My comfort is the love letter;
That You have left for me;

O I can see the beauty;
Of the love You give to me;
painted on the sunset sky;
and reflecting off the sea

    Again, you've brought to words the beauty of Gods ability to get us through with what he has created. It really warms my heart that you would write about the beauty around us. Beauty that only one can create. My eyes kept sneaking back to your artwork, and the colors you chose-Wonderful choices. Beautiful, both in word and in Sight!!
