Shimmering gold hair wild

with a smile stretched so wide

across the whole changing sky

the sunset reaches out a hand

hoping everyone will understand

that she is only passing by

and offers us fresh oranges

Before long she disappears

later to be reborn again

leaving the place clear

for the night to take reign

she brings with her the full moon

swimming between silver stardust

waiting for the curtain to fall

for the right time to exit the stage

to see the birth of another day soon

like they always did in the past

as long as they can recall

the air smelled of sage

leaving ash under their fingertips come morning
