Colors In The Night

The sun had set the other night The sky was like a raging fire Brilliant red and orange stood out A sight of which I will never tire And as I drove the colors changed A blend of lavender then yellow So beautiful I stopped my car The world seemed soft and mellow It was breathtaking, I’ll tell you It was too spectacular to be real And yet it was right before me In my heart there was a gentle feel As I started driving once again A windmill loomed large above I could see images in the swirls Oh, it’s a sight I truly love The fence line stood very black With the colors churning all around The only thing I could hear Were crickets with their chirpy sound No matter how long I live I will never get over a sight After the sun has gone down The colors that light up the night!
