water mirrors sky, you will know why I would call it the \u201cSunset of Our Lives\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunset of Our Lives<\/h2>\n<p>I have reached rainbow\u2019s end<br \/>\nWhere thoughts settle on ocean\u2019s breeze.<br \/>\nA wondrous joy has filled me up;<br \/>\nMy heart is all ablaze.<br \/>\nA ribbon of peach light,<br \/>\nA ribbon of pure gold,<br \/>\nA cantaloupe glory<br \/>\nEach beg me to behold.<br \/>\nWinter chills disappear<br \/>\nWith this fiery embrace;<br \/>\nAtoms of this blaze of glory<br \/>\nDance upon my child\u2019s face.<br \/>\nThis warming view shunts the joy<br \/>\nNow rushing through my veins.<br \/>\nI hear a wordless wisdom,<br \/>\nEcho on these earthy planes.<br \/>\nThe flashy pleasure brightens me;<br \/>\nIt paints away my blues<br \/>\nWith a scene that sings my song<br \/>\nAbout this moonrise muse.<br \/>\nWorldly concerns rise above<br \/>\nThe highest mountain peak.<br \/>\nThe light spills out, to soak<br \/>\nThe soul, spraying out this speech.<br \/>\nWashed in healing rushlight bath<br \/>\nWaves of unfilled promises are forgiven.<br \/>\nThis honeysweet night magically filled<br \/>\nEvery hug, kiss, whisper not given.<br \/>\nIn the North, in the South,<br \/>\nIn the East, in the West\u2014<br \/>\nIn every direction there shone<br \/>\nA reflection of Thy cast.<\/p>\n<p>Below the earthy looking glass,<br \/>\nThrows back the miraculous glow<br \/>\nWhen Lamplighter sketched Her glory on<br \/>\nThe etched harbour rocks below.<br \/>\nFriend and bird do beacon<br \/>\nLike the lighthouse, their companion\u2014<br \/>\nGuides of safety that never fail,<br \/>\nTo show hope for our salvation.<br \/>\nSculptures of the lost fishermen<br \/>\nNo more yell battle cries,<br \/>\nNo more do they yearn for new life,<br \/>\nThey\u2019ve found their Paradise.<br \/>\nTrail ends at Eternity\u2019s kingdom<br \/>\nThe place pictured in these skies.<br \/>\nNewfound inspiration was found in<br \/>\nThis sunset of our lives.<br \/>\nWorld worries faded away<br \/>\nEased by wondrous light.<br \/>\nAwestruck by the glory in<br \/>\nThis mansion of the night.<br \/>\nThis gift of magic in the air<br \/>\nWas just the start to my surprise<br \/>\nFor a larger understanding, now<br \/>\nDeep within me, lies.<br \/>\nThe travail of the ocean winds<br \/>\nBy saintly hues were seduced.<br \/>\nIn this sky, I was shown that<br \/>\nGreat things had been produced\u2014<br \/>\nIn the box of treasures<br \/>\nFound at rainbow\u2019s altitude,<br \/>\nWalking within Her light<br \/>\nThe gift of me, She did include.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/melacey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/ns\/bird.jpg?t=1418541605\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Sunday Nov.
