After the Storm - A Sunset

The light found in sunset
after the clearing of thunder storms
is eerie in the pinkish cast
it spreads across the world.

Gone is the golden rosy setting
we itched to watch. Gone is the overcast
day we hoped to dispel. Left is only
a sense of unreal, disquieting light.

The sun still takes its normal path.
Darkness still descends upon the hour.
After a storm, the arrival on stage
is dramatically different. Watch it

bathe the evening in unforgettable calm.
Feel the relief from humidity left behind
by the front that snuck in the stage door.
Nature has found its peace in pinkness.

The coloring was just strange... We got lucky, some places around town had hurricane force winds. Five planes and a chopter were damaged at the airport.

This is so fresh, V. I can almost feel the air.
