A Fire-sky

The sunset was like a fire-sky
That truly lit up my world
Clouds were orange and yellow
Like a paintbrush making swirls

The beauty was overwhelming
But a little bit frightening as well
It raged as though with fury
As it all began to swell

The colors were also reflected
In the lake where trees surround
It was quiet as I stood mesmerized
There was barely a single sound

I saw some fellows out fishing
Their bodies in semi-dark
Nothing looked quite real
The lake looked cold and stark

I doubt that I will ever see
A sunset just like this again
The entire sky so unimaginable
In a shocking kind of blend!
