The Right To The Evening Light

Glowing sunset over the horizon

A beautiful sunset to end the day

I crave to be by the sea at sunset

for so long I have been denied

I love to see the changing colours of the evening light

slowly faded into the night

Set against the splendour of colours

the reflections in the shimmering water

of the glowing white ball

gradually disappearing as darkness falls

At times the sky is in a sad gray and neutral

 the sun, a round patch of crimson

dipping silently into the water

bidding goodbye from the horizon

If I could be free I would linger and stay

there would be joy 

to see how nature paints

on each different day

Sadly, 
of the confining, 
an unwritten rule that man made

denied my right to such beautiful sights
