Light of a Sinking Sun

Rated "G" by the Author.

it comes suddenly and stays
only for a little while;

that golden silver magic light
of the sun sinking behind rooftops there
that makes me look up and sigh
as it blazes in through an open window or door
turning the whole room burnished gold;
and I wonder
and smile and breathe in
and go outside to bathe in it
wanting it to last a long while;
I cannot get enough of it for it always comes like this,
this stealthy, sudden way;
and I grasp it close to me,

beautiful—as it slowly dies, like life.

You write about nature and life's cold realities. I have much the same outlook in my work as you do in yours. Well done.

What a great analogy! There is nothing I love more than watching a sunset. I wish that I could capture the beauty in each one of them...but a camera just doesn't do them justice.

Gloria this sure is an eye opener and a heart warmer for how can one not look at the glow of a rising or falling sun and not be impressed with the magic of life.

I do appreciate the metaphorical undertones in your verses, Gloria. There is much to ponder upon. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace to you,

Beautifully descriptive. You have captured the scene and the feeling it gives you wonderfully.
Reviewed by George Thompson 9/2/2007
Enrichment lies in these words. The sun dies every day only return to start a new day for each of us. We interpret what we see and feel as it applies to each of us.
