In hues of gold and crimson, the sun begins to wane,

As evening casts its shadow on the tranquil, sandy plain.

The ocean whispers secrets, as it laps against the shore,

And seagulls soar on gentle winds, their cries a tranquil score.

A canvas of celestial art, the sky's alive with fire,

As day bids farewell to the world, in one last grand desire.

The sun, a blazing ball of light, now dips below the sea,

Its final kiss, a molten blaze, a sight for all to see.

The waves, they dance in rhythm, to a melodic ocean's song,

As if the sun's descent, they know, won't keep them waiting long.

The sand beneath my feet is warm, a welcome, soft embrace,

As I become a witness to this tranquil, sacred space.

The sky's a tapestry of dreams, painted with a fiery brush,

Each stroke a masterpiece of light, a palette lush and plush.

The world, it holds its breath in awe, as twilight takes its hold,

And stars emerge like diamonds, in the night's quilted fold.

A gentle breeze, it kisses cheeks, whispers secrets in my ear,

As if the world is sharing tales, that only night can hear.

The scent of salt and seaweed, it fills the cooling air,

A perfume of the ocean, that takes away my cares.

The sun now rests beneath the waves, its journey now complete,

But in its wake, it leaves behind, a feeling bittersweet.

For as it disappears from sight, the night begins to creep,

And in its quiet darkness, the world will soon be asleep.

But in this moment, on this beach, I stand in silent awe,

As the sunset's radiant beauty, leaves me humbled and in awe.

For in this fleeting, precious hour, I've found a sense of peace,

As nature's grandeur fills my heart, and my soul finds sweet release.

I'll carry with me this memory, of the beach at eventide,

Where the sunset's tender beauty, filled me up inside.

And though the night may soon descend, and stars will take their place,

I'll hold onto this moment, of the sun's soft, warm embrace.
