A Sunset Is
A sunset is a beautiful thing.
It looks like tangerines and strawberries and mangos and lemons.
Like roses and poppies and daisies and dandelions.
It sounds like a chorus of melodies carried by the wind.
Like the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds nesting for nightfall.
It smells like a bakery with freshly baked bread.
Like citrus and sugar, with a slight bit of salt.
It feels like holding a warm cup of cocoa on a cold winter’s night.
Like a soft fur blanket or a smooth leather jacket.
Sunsets are beautiful, no matter how you describe them.
I dare you to change my mind.
