The Sun’s Rise and Fall

At the break of day
As the sun rises
It gives hope and courage
And as it sets
Can it be the same

Or , is there a difference.
with the sunset you see ;
If sunrise offers renewal
Then sunset offers rest
Both needed for life

The sky with shades of grey
graduates into a range of colours
While it peeps at dawn
and in golden hues
dips at sunset

Oh life , what would you be
If brother sun is absent
Have I counted the
Reveilles and Retreats,
And taps at the end of day

How little I heed
sun’s rise and fall
On travels by train or plane
On holidays by the sea
Or just on a drive

Until I suddenly see your beauty
and try to hold it still in a picture !
