Sunset Flight

As sea oats sway into silhouette,

and the sun sinks between them

in its resplendent descent,

and the sand cools down,

slipping silkily through toes,

the day recedes

and graciously takes with it

all relinquished woes,

and in the last fiery flash

of orange light,

from the smoky clouds,

like a phoenix,

hope rises into flight…
