Paradise Sunset – v3

A cascade, from a pure royal blue,

to a spectrum of rust;

Pale canary yellow, bleeding

to burgundy and finally cobalt

Sudden sunset between

the twin pitons;

A bit of magic

over the sea

The warm leeward breath

rising up from the ocean’s surface;

Wafting up the slope

of the volcanic ridge

Rich lush greens, sweet fragrance

on the tropical breeze;

Air wet at dusk, falling

through the dew point

Dark wrapping us, a blanket

looking out on the now placid sea;

Weak light of civilization

hidden behind, beyond the road below.
