Sunrise,Sunset

I was sitting on the waters edge,
on a Florida Key.
The sun was rising,
behind the Atlantic ocean,
like a big orange ball,
floating on the tide.
It grew huge as it arose,
then lifted off the water,
into the blue sky.
It floated to high noon,
straight over my head.

I walked across the road.
Down it drifted,
to the waters below.
Floating farther away,
It disappeared,
Into the Gulf of Mexico,
leaving a beautiful sunset,
of pink,purple, orange and grey,
then faded into the night
