Sunset

I’m sitting in candlelight 
aside the fireplace thinking 
as I watch the sunset 
behind the mountains wondering 
with something as beautiful 
and as simple and 
as wonderful and astonishing 
as a sky that 
turns from white to 
yellow to pink to 
orange to blue to 
darker blue to navy 
blue and then midnight 
blue and finally black 
I do not understand 
how this turns into 
sadness and sarcasm and 
misery and despair and 
so many other horrible 
things that prevents them 
from ever seeing this 
and it breaks my 
heart that they can’t 
but maybe one day 
they will maybe tomorrow 
because the sun always 
comes back around again
