A Summer Sunset

For the Negative Space Challenge

By Dana CrandellPublished 3 days ago • 1 min read

Another summer day concludes
Drenched in hues of red and gold
That none but nature could produce
As the spectacle unfolds

Or perhaps the hand of God

Plies the brush that paints the skies

Strokes to soothe our earthbound hearts

Through the windows of our eyes

I know the cold fact that the sight

Is due to our world's atmosphere

But physics fails to comprehend

The force that keeps me rooted here

My heart demands I find the words
To honor such magnificence

But every effort my mind makes

Somehow seems lacking eloquence

I cannot find...

I fail each time..

I haven't the words.
