The colours of life

The orangey hue of sunset

The interaction between sunlight and the atmosphere.

Blinded by its beauty
I sat there watching
Not realising that the shadows
Have blended 

into the background.

Frantically I groped around in the darkness
Searching for something
Anything
That would tell me where
I was.

Nothing.

Hopelessly
I stared back
Into the darkness.

The stars
They twinkled!
Back at me.

Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium atoms.

I relaxed back into the ground.

The sun has set
Only to rise again tomorrow.
And tomorrow
The sunset may appear a different hue
But it is ok.

Such are the colours
of life.
