Sunset Over Dawn

I searched the skies, the other day
and witnessed a blinding awe,
for it was during the daytime's brightness.

At last, my eyes could spy the evening,
and again, I mingled with my awe,
and felt the grace that heaven gave the evening.

I will admit, that I had sorely missed the pleasure that was the dawn;
but it was the tints and hues of the evening
that rested my anxious heart, so completely.

It's not really, that I prefer night over day,
it's just that the evening slumber of the sky and it's hues
greatly rests my soul completely.

I pause in reverence, to the blueness of night's young sky,
because, tomorrow will surely try and erase the night's skies;
but that, will be only temporary;

because I will forever know in my heart,
that my sunsets will always exceed the colors of the dawn;
because forever, my precious sunsets will remind my heart..........of only you.

What are you now in LOVE?? I certainly hope so, for lucky is the Lady that would receive your beautiful words.
