My Sunset - Chris Coco

It took so long

It felt like the day would never end

Burning… Golden

Too high to ever come down

But slowly, inevitably it began its descent

Shadows lengthening, faces turn to gold

Colours grow deeper… stronger

Patterns appearing in enclosing shadows

A line of clouds 20 minutes up A false ending as the orange orb descended into the grey

Burning… Golden

Then it appeared… burning

Somehow stronger and more brilliant

Below the clouds and above the sea

Breathing faster now, impatient to meet the waves

As it dropped the music faded to a whisper

Computer patterns dissolving into ripples on the water

The burning circumference fell beneath the horizon

The sound fell into the ground

To silence

Reverberating

A ripple of applause

Perfection is here on Earth

Below the clouds and above the sea
