Non-rhyming Poem (revised)?

Alright, so I got great feedback and I have made some changes, I hope you like them, the ending in my opinion is still alittle weak, but I feel as though I strengthened it substantially

The water has receeded with the setting sun

Leaving sand soaked shadows of the sea

The waves had laid to rest at last

And calmer skies bring down the sun

First, a bright and golden shine

It quickly fades (to) an orange glow

And as it dies the red emerges

Turning the sky a purple haze

Now, halfway down, the sky's on fire

Blazing streaks into the sky

And on the water like a dream

The sky has plunged into the sea

In its final light above the horizion

The clouds now shine like waves in the sea

And in its final moments I admire its glory

Til the sky is black and full of stars
