Sunset

we stood on the beach and watched the sunset
i have never seen anything so beautiful
i will not try to describe the colors like crayons
(vivid tangerine is my favorite crayola)
i cannot find words to justify the sight of fire
splashed accross the sky like paint on a willing canvas
you wrapped your arms around me
and i wrapped my arms around you
we were a knot of fleece and denim
the sand gathered in wet pools around our sneakered feet
children, dogs and heaps of teenagers swarmed around us
but we were alone in our moment
you felt so solid to me
like i could lean forever and never fall down
we stayed until dark began to crawl over the surf
and the sky was fading into the waves
with our hands locked together we walked back to the car
feeling renewed, and a little raw
having seen the reflection of love in sun streaks
