Sometimes I like to sit and brood,
 Unnamed anxieties shaping my mood -
 The silver light of dusk invades
 Quiet thoughts as daylight fades.
 Indigo hues seamlessly change into
 Hammered gold of infinite range.
 The master alchemist casts His spell
 In a sky-sized abalone shell.
 Though the sun fulfills
 Its life-giving role,
 The colors of sunset
 Feed my soul.
