Sunset season is days twilight
Nightime’s early hours

Sunset season is the time where seasons dance around each other in limbo
When gold rains down from the sky
Illuminating faces
Reflecting off jewelry
Warming the skin
Holding the sky in it’s rutilant haze

Sunset season sets the stage for the stars
The sun doing it’s final last rounds
Sweeping the atmosphere with brooms made of clouds
Clouds that come in astonishing arrays of colors
Pink, orange, purple, red, blue, yellow
All come together to serenade the sky in beautiful arrangements
The sun acting as a golden show stealing accent

Sunset season is the cliff near the ocean
The line of trees by the road
The exit sign before the school door
The currents before the waterfall
The happiness before the smile

Feeling as if the veil between real and imagination is at it's thinnest
Paintings crafted in the sky by mother nature themself
Standing in the moment

It comes each year
Going quietly
You don’t notice it’s there
But miss it when it’s gone.

Sunset season is the mid august heat
The late september blue skies
The halloween candy rolling out in early october
The evening before trick or treating
The perfect fall golden hour

Sunset season is a beautiful thing
