Sunset

Once I saw a sunset
And while in awe and wonder
I noticed it was incomplete
I stared at it for a while
To capture the image in my mind
It came back to me one day
And at that moment I realized
Why it appeared incomplete
There was a ray of light
Stolen, missing, misplaced.
Such an illuminating wonder
Captivated in a person
One so beautiful and splendid
She completed the sunset in my mind
Filled the emptiness unknowingly
Made the sunset beautiful once more.
