Ocean Sunset

The great fiery ball drops in the west
Slowly descending into evening clouds,
Pure beauty in its nightly transition
From bright radiance to peaceful sleep.
Sunset reflected in the ocean surf
As shimmering light skims its surface,
Light slowly sinking beneath the waves
Accentuating whitecaps as they break.
With mighty sun’s great descent
A slivered moon now in the sky,
An ephemeral glow among the stars
As evening gently moves into night.
Another of nature’s mysteries beheld
In awe and gratitude for being here,
Reflecting on what all this means
And how it so routinely happens.
Beings struggle with many changes
So amazingly simple compared to this,
Is the difference an inherent harmony
Which beings seem to so easily resist?
