Kaleidoscope turns
color burst on western sky
brilliant reds and gold
sets the tops of autumn trees
divinely ablaze with fire

Author Notes
Thanks to benhar for this perfect picture.
I witnessed the most awesome sunset today and could hardly wait to write this down. The colors would change rapidly as if you were looking into and turning a kaleidoscope. Then the tree-tops caught fire, as it were, for a brief moment before the brilliance faded into a perfect twilight. What a blessed assurance of His presence. :-) Carolyn
