Pieces of Sunset

Sage Millen

Daylight fades, unravels,revealing intertwining coils of color.Dusky lavenders to emerald greens creep through the skylike enchanted vines on an old brick wall.Colors flicker and dance,candle flames lighting up the heavens.Fierce oranges and hot pinks explode like dragon fire,flooding the world with color for a mere second beforethe colors shatter, sending pieces of sunset everywhere.Catch one.It’s mesmerizing, but I look upjust in time to see thateverything has ended in stars.
