Blazing, bloody red
Brightest solar star
Your circumference rests
Wide upon the western horizon

In bloody red blaze
You take center stage
With blinding
Glaring beam

Bloody red, your scorching arms
Reach far across the sky
You befriend us in spite of your intolerable heat
And unfantonable powers

Bloody red, resting upon the edges of our globe
Your grand exit awaits
When you bid our day good-by
With pink trails turned to darkness

Breathtaking imagery, Songbird.  Nicely done!

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...
