When the Sun meets the Ocean
The soft sunlight glistens through the heavy clouds,
onto the ocean’s horizon.
with the movement of the water, it shimmers,
a perfect synchronization.
The vast royal blue
reflects streaks of bright orange
that all trace to an orb of light,
screaming amber into the sky,
intimidating the dusky clouds
As it descends into the orange-blue,
the last bit of light radiates
into your eyes,
like a flower blossoming only for a minute.
When its time is up,
the gold petals drift off
and sink back under the azure ocean
once again.
Darkness patches the midnight blue
The sewn-on reflections barely seen,
still syncing with the night breeze.
When dawn comes, a nascent of
aureate petals rise again,
This time, blossoming for a day.

This is an imagery piece about sunset and sunrise I saw at an ocean I went to with my family when I was little. It was a very vivid memory I still had so I decided to write a piece about it so I could remember it even clearer. I also gave it some meaning of a "new beginning" at the end.
