THE SUN

I write about what I see
For there’s so much more to view in a scene
Than just colors
And trees.

There are words
And lyrics
Music notes
Colors we can't even believe.
And in a sunset
There are more than all these things…

The sun was majestic tonight
Setting yarely amidst the clouds
That veiled it.

First yellow with happiness
Smiling at you, like it’s never seen the dark
Like it’s never been scarred

Then pink with love
As pink as the roses
Setting deeper and deeper
Just like a love that sinks into a heart

Then orange with passion
Torching the horizon
Almost out of sight
But giving us a last breath

As we drove away
We turned our backs
It bounced off the rearview mirror
… then it was gone.

Gone to another world
Gone to another time
But still left an image in my mind
And a memory on my eyes

Yet the sun never changes
Every day the same
Just, everything else changes
Making it new from whence it came

Although I may change
And I may grow
Every day anew
Happiness. Love. Passion.
I will always be in your heart
With a memory on your eyes

So, baby, wrap your hand in my hand
For I'm not going away
Even though each day is renewed
My sun still rises and sets in. you.
