As the sun sets on another day
Nature makes her grand display
Clouds like fire across the sky
Soft white cotton floating by

Such beauty in a fleeting glance
Holds me captive in a trance
Just how fast would I have to race
‘the twilight of the gods’ to chase

Beauty of a sunset fiery red
God paints the sky o'erhead
Opheus has sent us words so true
They're for me to read and for you

Thank you Happygolucky

Wasn't sure many would read it as the title was a bit obscure

Needless to say I found the answer to the question in the last two lines.

Hi, Orpheus,
Whether it's 1037.5 or 1040.37, thankfully, as long as the world turns we get to enjoy it while standing still. Once in 24 hours (more or less) makes it special! Enjoyed the photo and the write!

Wonderful sunset ...and I know how quick....can't take your eyes of them, such rapid change as you try to absorb everything. Good test for memory recall....niahangel dancing

Nature alone can make such a grand display
Such beauty in a fleeting glance.

Thanks GNJ4u

It is great when every now and then the sky is just right to give us such a beautiful sunset.

Thank you Nia

It's good to think that it's the same sun that sets all over the world, sort of puts the distance in perspective.
