I looked and saw it hanging there
My soul was moved to stop and stare
Red sun low down in crimson sky
That warmed my skin, my mind, my eye.
The world was bathed in waves of red
My life became a silhouette
Time eclipsed for one sweet second
Past and future gone, just present.
Oh to live this way forever
Softest light and shadows never
"Sun, your reds are fading lower
Won't you stay with me some more?"
