Look Up At Nature's Paintings

when I come and see at the moment the sun bows down at the end of his play
when the curtains close by the mountains
his stretched hands going slowly as he dims down
not to go quickly
the blue sky, the clouds throw roses at his feet
to let him know they loved every second of it
his hands slips slowly between their fingertips
the mountains fade from a distance joining the background, gray
the sky changes colors, gets invaded by darkness  

out of the darkness come distant relatives
twinkling in the sky, it is showered by them
but one is closer, a prodigy of the sun
a ying to the sun which she glows in the dark
as she comes out of her hiding
to show off her acting
giving us her smile
when we see her we are in aw

when i finally go to bed and open my curtains
there she will be giving me a good night kiss

my eyes have no purpose but to see this magnificence
no better scene than nature's actors.
