Sunset Skies

 

Sunset Skies

 

Birth comes as the dawn,

In our beds tended with care.

What growth can we attain,

What fruit will we bear?

 

Morning passes too soon,

Bright promises bloom,

But flowers fade with too much sun,

The drying of them ever looms.

 

Sunset skies

Ever before you.

The dawn has gone,

Night comes,

And we all sleep.

 

Mighty oaks standing firm,

Pines swaying in the breeze,

What lessons must we learn?

How do we avoid a freeze?

 

Roses climbing, pretty and thorned,

The sunflower standing tall,

Are we too sharp and yet adorned,

Are we to become brittle and fall?

 

Sunset skies

Ever before you.

The dawn has gone,

Night comes,

And we all sleep.

 

The sunset sky is warm and fades,

Warm yourself with its last rays.

All have left, none have stayed,

Even the sun too will fade away.

 

Sunset skies

Ever before you.

The dawn has gone,

Night comes,

And we all sleep.

Sunset skies

Ever before you.

The dawn has gone,

Night comes,

And we all sleep.

Eventually,

We all sleep.
