"Commitments"

        
       
The Sun sets, the sky on fire, wispy flames hover
This evening, above Sin City, framing below
Busy locals, enthusiastic tourists, eager lovers
Some, living commitments, jobs, family, leisure, life, joy
Passion, persevering until the Sun rises and sets
Again, the glorious cycle continues
Our life's treasures on display for all to witness
While many stumble blindly through
A mere existence, never exploring, observing, participating
In life, lacking commitment, unlike the sunrise, sunset
