Harnoor Atwal Poet Ode

Golden Sunset

It only comes once a day
It doesn’t last very long
To the eyes,
It is a painting
And to the mind
It is a second in time

A beautiful golden ray 
Reflecting off each skyscraper in the view
A fresh breeze of wind
Matched with the vibrant green trees
And above it all,
Purple cotton candy like clouds

Bright blue and white mountains far off in the distance
It can’t get any better than that
But it only lasts so long until
It sprints away faster than a cheetah
Nothing less, nothing more
A sunset

I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
