Finalist in the 'Something With Bite 2010' competition

The glowing candle in the dark
The rose amongst the thorns
The sunset in the horizon
Is what the sky adorns
With its fiery light so brilliant
And great radiating rays
I’d like to see the sunset forever
Forever, all my days
But soon it’s swallowed by the darkness
And gone away from me
I now stare at a dark and gloomy
Sky above the sea
Adored by the beauty witnessed
A tear forms in my eyes
But I have no sorrow, because tomorrow
The sky shall redeem its prize
