"Sunset"

The fiery red haze so slowly creeps,
Engulfing the countryside -
The mountains and trees.
The azure sky slowly backs off,
Retreating from the advancing foe.
The heavens are quickly taken,
Casting a red shadow over the land.
The verdant landscape does not give -
An army of green fighting for survival.
But the force is too strong,
The green carpet is soon replaced by red.
And now the young couple embrace -
They themselves overtaken by the glow.
It was just another sunset,
But it was just as inspiring as its ancestors.
