Last night's sunset

Yesterday's twilight sunset
took my breath away
It was one of those displays
That strips away the grimy varnish of the city
And casts a shockingly clear light
Hued orange pink
On twilight dipped facades
While ominous grey-blue clouds
Filled the sky
Casting everywhere but for the brillant sunlight
Only some low hanging cloud puffs
Were painted pink by the sun
I just stood there and watched
This play of Light and Dark
