Fiery Sunset

Author's Note: When you picture a sunset what do you see?  Do you picture a peaceful sunset with purples and yellows or a fiery sky full of black clouds that send a shiver down your spine?



When I think of a sunset I think of a peaceful mix of purples and yellows and a splash of orange.  Saying good-bye to the day should be peaceful and calming.
This picture completely contradicts what I think a sunset should be.  It’s as if the sky is on fire; it seems the day isn’t ending without a fight.  The colors are so deep and dark even the clouds are a devilish black.  Where are all of the stars shining through, twinkling and sparkling under the glow of the moon?  If I were to watch this sunset in person, it would not put my mind at rest like a peaceful sunset should.  It’s beautiful, but I wouldn’t want to see it before I go to sleep, I fear the dark clouds mixed with the fiery sky would haunt my dreams.
