the sunset was casting a soft
rosy-pink glow over everything
as we drove home today
through the mountain passes.
they themselves were indigo shadows, but
in a majestic -
not menacing
way.
as we passed through the city
by way of the harbor,
i looked out the window again.
the clouds were streaks of scarlet across
a golden backdrop of mysterious infinity,
and the ocean - that stretched across over
the horizon, like silk - was covered
by a shimmering sheen
of silver,
and light was dancing on the waves.
there was one point of brightness in the sky:
airplane or star? / i couldn't quite tell.
