from the mountain-top
the beauty of the sunset
is coloured with peach and butterscotch
sliding into the deepest marmalade
and warm lilac
as it slips over the edge
of the world
leaving behind the impression
of indigo across the lower sky
staining into cerulean
and opalescent, aqua and periwinkle
in an echo of lenten royalty
of the darker journey
and sapphire shadows
and bruised pathways
of the long night
and colder valley
unfolding
and asks us to lower our heads
against the world
and travel towards the longing
sunrise
in a different place
and on a different day
