Creation

Nature dipped 
her brush 
in a fiery crimson 
and painted 
bold strokes 
on a deepening blue
Dabs of 
pink and purple 
gave it depth 
Flicked flecks 
of gold and silver 
added sparkle
Streaks of 
yellow and white 
made it glow
She called 
her painting 
a sunset 
then slowly drew 
a veil of black 
on the sky 
wiping out 
her creation
only to do it
again tomorrow
