5 Ways to See a Sunset

I.

Over the ocean

Over the mountains

 II.

When

I am alone

With a friend

        A lover

 III.

The colors are endless

             Blues

             Purples

            Pinks

            Yellows

            Oranges

The occasional turquoise and magenta

            Followed by the palest lavender

 IV.

I walk on the beach

            My hand in another’s

I sit on the porch

            With a drink in my hand

I watch from the penthouse

            The colors of the sky changing the room around me           

V.

I am older

Another day lost

More wisdom gained

One day closer to death

But one more day that I have lived
