Sunrises & Sunsets
A Poem
A view of a stunning sunrise, today filled with endless dreams still unimagined. The reality of the day ending in a cruel world, if only one could re-examine.
Breathtaking beauty of the setting sun depends on your perception and location. Sun rises over the ocean horizon on the first morning of the family vacation.
Ain’t seen the sun in months, been stuck in a windowless jail cell. A worthless promise one makes, never again to visit this living hell.
A leisurely stroll as the sun sets after consuming more food than one should ever eat. A race against time to make it before the sun sets praying to the gods for food and a seat.
A yearly physical offers a clean bill of health, many more sunrises to see. Can’t afford stage four cancer treatments, no more sunrises for thee.
Time between sunrises and sunsets, a priceless gift of life never to be sold. Daytime but a curse for those left in the dark, begging to die in the sunless cold.
When in the midst of the darkest storms, feeling as if there is no God or sun above. Have faith and never stop believing, clouds of despair cannot stop their shining powerful love.
