I sit in the fading light
and watch the shadows
dance across the wall.
Drawn to the light
I gaze upon the sun
a giant orange
peeled and ready to devour
it hovers on the horizon
lowering itself slowly
taunting us
with one last delectable glimpse.
In a last show of bravado
it explodes across the sky
a blank canvas no more
a myriad of colors
shifting
moment to moment
then fading to nothing
leaving us in darkness
until the morn.
