Sunset

                                      In the late afternoon hours
                                  Of a sizzling sunny summer day
                                      Gazing from a rustic bower,
                                    On a sandy beach in the west,
                                   At the bright slowly setting sun
                                       Presents a delightful sight
                                       On the far distant horizon.

                                       It is a sight beyond belief
                                 As the sun dashes its crimson rays
                                       Without any sign of relief
                                       On the undulating waves,
                                  That do crash against coral reefs
                                      To form a long milky stretch,
                                    That shortly dies in the lagoon.

                                     It is a sight beyond compare,
                               That bestows immense joy to the heart,
                                     Peace and quietude to the mind
                                       And a sense of solace imparts
                                     To the soul that one cannot find
                                           In the hustle of the city,
                                           Devoid of such beauty.

                               Soon the sizzling sun slides in the sea
                                        At the far distant horizon,
                                       Heralding the onset of dusk
                                    While the sky, hitherto crimson,
                               Turns light grey, driving the sparrows
                                    And other birds to seek refuge 
                               In their nests with a tinge of sorrow.

                              With the parting of the splendid day,
                                 As prelude to the coming night,
                            Cheerful stars up high make their way
                                      Glittering dimly in the sky
                                 Alongside a new crescent moon 
                          That plays hide and seek behind the clouds
                                And in the heavens fades away soon.

                                   Shortly the dark night creeps in 
                                     Invading the land in its gloom,
                                   Marking the time to scan within
                                  The vast depth of the inner self,
                               To engage in some blissful dreams
                                   Or to rest after a day`s sweat
                             To pick up strength to move upstream.

                                    Like the sunset is human life:
                                    Begotten by the divine grace,
                                Man, after his journey full of strife
                                  Fades away in the vast unknown,
                                 Shrouded in the darkness of night,
                                Bearing with him but his noble deeds
                                As from the earth he takes his flight.

                                  Yet a new dawn will rise tomorrow
                                    And surely with it a new sunrise
                                      And a new sunset will follow:
                                    Like the sunset is human soul,
                                  It is immortal and never decays,
                                     But shifts from body to body
                                      And lives for ages and ages
                                 Until it wrecks the chain to merge
                               With the Supreme Soul for eternity,
                                      Until it attains the Divinity.
