Sober Sunsets

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.
