As the Sun Sets

“As day and night, seasons come and go, leaving an afterthought that nothing is permanent in this world. Though life is all impermanence, know, there will be a sunrise after every sunset”-~ By Poet

Away from the crowd, I sat on the seashore
       Looking at the setting sun,
    Drowning into the indigo depths.
The grey enormity that heaved and swelled in turn,
           Warmly received its everyday evening guest.

As I was looking on, breakers rose high,
    Crashing over the boulders, making a mournful cry.

My eyes stretched far into the horizon
             I watched clouds quickly shapeshifting
And the multi coloured firmament 
     Changing into a grey monochrome.
          As like a python, darkness swallowed the day.
    
A cycle ending only to begin again!
