Redolent Sun

Redolent Sun

The sunset dips beyond the cloud

A shower of pink to violet to blue to black

I can see heaven with light endowed

Which reminds me that I am a stranger

You will soon be gone, my painted sky

Your hues redolent of my heart

But I thank you greatly for passing by

And spending this time with me

Is His throne on the other side

Of the horizon which thwarts my sight

Were I to glimpse beyond clouds so wide

And have His face shine upon mine
