Sunset - Nathan B.

His eyes were lost
in the distance.
He did not see her
before him,
her form a silhouette
in the grandeur of
the flames of the setting sun.
It set the sky
on fire. It made
the oceanblack,
burning the sky down,
’til all was burnt black
in the fire of the sun.

There was light beyond her,
bursting forth
from the horizon,
powerful and pure.

His eyes fixated upon the vision,
’til she dissolved into oblivion.
Stepping through her, he
dissolved into the vision:

All became one,
a focused unit,
the illumined sky,
the black ocean,
the blazing sun,
himself,
the sun igniting the sky,
the ocean drinking in the sun,
the sky enveloping the flame,
his sight filling with vision.
