Sober sunsets
Are something else
Setting off
Something inside me
That I’ve never felt before
Watching the fire in the sky
Lights a fire inside
My heart dances
Like the tongue’s of a flame
I am f r e e from shame
There is no pain
In this moment
Pastel hues
The sky my muse
As it tucks the sun to sleep
I can keep pace with this J O Y
I cruise on this contentment
Releasing resentment
Behind me
Sadness cannot catch me
Yet
Sadness cannot touch me
When I watch the sun set.
