Poem Artwork

Sunrise, Sunset

© By Kathy Armijo

 

 

The sun comes up each day

What we do with it is ours to say

Stay in bed.  Meet the challenges with dread

Better yet, forge ahead

 

We must each decide

How to live life’s ride

Enjoy the ups and downs

Wear a frown or be a clown

 

Each of us has the ability to be strong and good

Regardless if our intentions are misunderstood

At day’s end, there may be some regrets

Yet, relish life’s successes.  Enjoy life’s rosettes

 

For there will come a time

When our life has reached its sunset

Our breath will be never more

Still, we will safely travel to another shore

 

Until that time

Swing from every vine

Live life fully

You know … It is perfectly okay to be a bit dopey

"Swing from every vine", is verbalization I had not previously toyed with. It is a great line. Wish it were mine. Being a bit dopey is the psyche's ploy that permits us to enjoy, when we might otherwise take ourselves too seriously and frown. And speaking of enjoyment, your poem brings me much. Thanks for an uplifting perspective. May peace be always with you. JMW

Gone on a limb...like a bird, if that branch breaks always one have another one...and our wings should be made of optimism.

Kathy,

Each dawn, new possibilities - each evening, memories, perhaps regrets of how we spent the day - completeness in these lines of inspiration! Well done.
