I chased the sunset the other day.
Driving home from work
October sky captured me.

Wanting to watch uninterrupted by traffic,
I zipped into Giant’s parking lot
but lost the view altogether.
Back onto 113 then another lot
behind the Chinese restaurant.
Trees blocking now.

In minutes it would be gone,
slipping under the edge of the earth.
God, let me capture it,
draw in some of its fading light.

Two more miles to the park, speedily,
past the turnoff to home.
Finally
an unobstructed vantage point for the setting sun.

Glorious!
I stood on the ridge
Still
Hardly breathing
I pressed the shutter
seizing the ever-changing masterpiece.
Who
but God?
