Love Like A Sunset

I feel sorry for those who are blind, they have never got the chance to experience one of the most beautiful sights on earth; a sunset. So, once and for all, I will describe it to the best of my abilities so that they too can see one.

A sunset is a light show in the sky; a million different shades of red, yellow, purple and orange dancing across the horizon. It is the point of day you can look at the sun without burning your eyeballs off. As the sun slowly fades at the edge of the earth, the sky comes alive; the normal shades of blue change rapidly in colourful seizures until it all goes to the black of night. A sunset doesn't just happen, it explodes.

While watching a sunset, nothing else matters. For the first time in the day, one can forget all their trouble, even forget that they are alive. It is an experience like no other imaginable. It is a point where one can beleive that all is right with the world; that maybe hope does exist. It can lead one to think that the world, as wretched and ruined as it may be, is still beautiful. The sky can't be broken; it is still the same old sky as day one. Though the earth has decayed away, the sky is still the same. A sunset can make you wonder if at one point the earth too was just as beautiful as the sky.

I can try as I may, but I feel my efforts are useless. It is safe to say that a sunset is simply indescribable.
