The sun appeared blood red just above the cradle of the Earth
Colored with the stains of innumerable sin
Catches my eyes at that slanted angle in this quiet place
It calls to me, and pulls me deeper within

And a black bird flies across its crimson tinted face
So alone, and seemingly without a sense of direction
Forlorn in its flight through the still morning air
It was with this bird that I turned my eyes for inspection

Realizing in a momentary shudder of pure and utter despair
How the dawning of day, if looked at in a different light,
Can be such a similar scene, identical in all compare,
As the red sun lowering itself for the coming of night

Gorgeous poetry...
the sky lights are indeed a beautiful sight to behold.
