There are times the day slips by so fast.
I've barely had a second glance.
So when the sun is setting low,
I stop what I'm doing to watch the show.

For just a short period it is Magic Time,
When there is a glow that is hard to describe.
The clouds in the sky turn a pastel pink,
changing to lavender as the sun slowly sinks

The atmosphere around me feels surreal
As if for a moment time stands still.
It's then that I look back and reflect
Over events and how my day was spent.

Then as the day fully comes to an end
I say a prayer as darkness descends,
For all of my loved one near and far
That they'll be safe no matter where they are.
