Last Kiss

The sun sets as quick as it can,

while the moon waits impatiently for one last embrace. 

For only a moment they meet,

day touching night,

a last kiss until tomorrow.

The mountains blush pink, the sky burns orange,

and the cholla sings with the last light

before we fall into deep blue.

The earth has witnessed this love since the beginning,

an endless parting and an endless return.

The dance never grows old.

When you love that deeply, even goodbye is beautiful.
