Life of A Party

Every sunset has its own characteristics. As the time of day comes, the sky gives us the great phenomena of a sunset. Every time I observe the sunset, it keeps setting a little bit earlier each day. With the seasons changing, now going into fall, night creeps up on us a little faster than usual. This is my favorite time of year because not only is it pumpkin flavored everything, but nature has a pleasurable way of showing change. September 9th was the first day I started observing the sunset. During this time, the fire that was nearby had broken out and made the appearance of a dark, poorly lit sky. I figured this was an inconvenience for me because the sunset was always hidden behind the thick gray smoke causing it to look gloomy. Now the sky is completely cleared making it easier for me to see the colors splattered everywhere giving the sky life.

When the sun goes down, at twilight,

The horizon sets ablaze a colourful show,

And elsewhere will be a beautiful sunrise,
As we wait for the night sky to say hello;
The magic takes place every day, everywhere,

And it's never the same any day, anywhere;

I sit in silence watching the sun dance,
The sight of it sending chills up my spine;
Half conscious in a slight state of trance,
In the colorful sky, I see your graceful smile;
The dusk falls into a beautiful starry night,
Leaving me gazing, till you to come alight.

"Sun Dance" by Athif Ahmed is a beautiful poem. It takes the words right out my mouth explaining how beautiful the sunset really is. We can be witnessing the sunset but someone else out there might be watching the sunrise. It's amazing how life works and to be able to the see the sunset is just one of the most amazing events the world has to offer. Seeing the sky transition from blue to the bright colors on a pallet is an occurrence that is breathtaking and should be witnessed everyday.
