In habitual sunset study
Universal message settles
Clear-skied red-orange glows
Brilliant in crystallized hues
Hold no colorful candle to
Cloud-strewn glorious spectrum
Magenta-scarlet and mauve-violet roses
Bloom cumulus spectacular
Unencumbered beauty pales
Compared to that imperfect and clouded
Nature’s nightly visual show
Imprints corneal reminders
Hardships’ oft-bemoaned overcasts
Bestow velvet-soft rubied rewards
