TENERIFE SUNSET
Warm hues of pink,
Deepening, intense,
Spreading a roseate glow
Above the sea.
Dramatic now,
Burnished copper fronds
Radiating like an angel’s wings,
A promise of peace.
Wisps of orangey gold,
Shimmering against a purple backdrop.
The light slowly fades
To a burning glow,
Final encore of the setting sun.
