Sunset

You can hear the waves crashing in the distance. The quiet and all of the sudden loud as it bounces of the rock hundreds off feet below. As dusk hits your just sitting there right on the edge with your legs dangling. The thoughts of the girl you love being sick and refusing to let you stay to take care of her roam through your head. The solemn bike ride to the top of the mountain was fueled with sadness of not having her with you and the emptiness and void that's just prevalently flowing and mocking you in the air. You ride by two squirrels chasing each other in the woods. While you sit on the edge, the clouds to chase each other to some unknown destination and the waves become intertwined and two become one. Loneliness overwhelms you and climbs into your every pore and every fiber of your being. Just when the right thing seems to be just to fall of the edge, you see it. The brilliant rays of color. The shimmering orange in the clouds The pentrating red like a dancing fire. The yellow still peaking through as the moon chases the sun away. The loneliness turns into joy to be alive and well. The sadness becomes hope and faith in things unknown. Just when the world seems perfect suddenly a stir comes about from the woods behind. Ready to flee you try to hide yourself in the open air to no avail. Suddenly, out of the brush she pops out. Having felt better and knowing where'd you be she came. She sits down on your right and snuggles into your arms. You feel a sense of perfection, the moment and the clarity of the world all right there. The sun sets and slowly the colors fade and darkness embraces you. But to you it doesn't matter, because you have her and to you, well she is nothing short of a beautiful sunset.
