sunset
Why show such a brilliance at the ending?
Is your show intended to remind us of the gift, or giver
As you pass with no reverence to mankind
While serving him with your enduring warmth
Or is the setting a gift of remembrance
And a hope of your next rising?
Of your next shining?
While the empty darkness races you to your end
Does he not know of your beginning?
Does he not fear looking too long into your light?
And how can he, seeing, chasing every sunset
Not be blinded by the sheer beauty of it?
May it be that the darkness chases you as a man
Contented in the setting
Waiting, watching for the next days awesome bounty.
