A Zimbabwean Sunset

A ZIMBABWEAN SUNSET

There are precious few images,

Of serene beauty,

That can compare to the magnificence of

A Zimbabwean sunset.

Never again will you be so completely

Captivated

Enthralled

By the pure uncontaminated beauty

That is the Zimbabwean sun.

For a Zimbabwean sunset,

Is not

Simply the transition from day to night,

Nor the signal of the end of another day.

It is not simply the handing over of authority

From the diurnal creatures,

To the creatures of the night.

A Zimbabwean sunset,

Is a sign of victory

Of success

It signifies the survival of another day

Another day that you have fought against the odds

And triumphed.

A Zimbabwean sunset,

Is the outpouring of an entire countries emotions

Each individual contributing.

Each personal feeling interpreted,

And transformed

Into the enthralling beauty

Of a Zimbabwean sunset

All the trials, triumphs and tribulations,

Glorified

Personified

And displayed on an enormous canvas 

In electrically lit oranges, blood reds and vibrant yellows.

A Zimbabwean sunset

Is a time where the entire country

Unifies,

Merges,

Combines

To sit and simply observe

Their magnificent

Zimbabwean sunset.
