Denver Base Sunset
Standing in the middle of an Aurora twilight,
Nothing in the world could be less right,
Than the sunset I see tonight,
Incredible grandeur between mountain heights.
Lowry Air Force Base under a rosy-hued sky.
The twin peaks of this section of mountain,
Just between, the crescent iridescent light fountain,
The orange-red glowing sun burning,
At this juncture of the worlds' turning.
A sky ablaze in orange, magenta, rose, and violet, deep purple.
Tiny clouds puff all over the sky,
Golden lined orange and fire engine red cotton flies,
A great beam of glowing red shines up high,
From between the peaks like the laser of God's eye.
The sky is aflame this evening.
Far to the purple east,
The first star peeks, just the least,
Of the coming twinkle show,
Wishing I had a camera so you could know.
Young Airman, wish upon a star.
God has painted one of his finest masterpieces tonight,
And forever, it will grace your sight.

When I was just seventeen, in training school in Denver, this is something I will never forget. I have never known or seen a sky
so beautiful before or since. I hope Vince and Shortcake got to see this one.

| Daniel, These are the times you wish you could take a photograph in your mind, never to forget the full beauty of such a moment. You did a fine job describing what you saw that night. You have entered and written so much poetry. Have you had your own book published? Debbie | |||
