Sunset SunriseThe sun closes her eyes, and I must close mine, this time,
but my breaking blood-brain barrier bids otherwise.
Another long night bodes foreboding in this light.
Forbidden thoughts seep deep from blood to brain.
I must fight, again, another tormenting night.
Earth's most frightening repetitive
cycle
plays on repeat as I try to cycle through
my backups to no avail,...

with the stars,

Twirling last

Prettier, livelier

I say that I'm over youI say I'm over you
Yet I see you everywhere
In the beach
Picking up shells and pretending
That I'd bring them to you
Saving the iridescent ones
For you
And I'd watch the sunset
Act like you're next to me
I can almost smell your cologne in the air
Then I turn and realize again
You're not there
I say I'm over you
And I...

It Is To Be
Sun down in Death Valley
It is to be
The memory of white branded heat
Falls away so fast
Dissolving in flashes of sagebrush shadows
The long flat bands of sand
Submerged in desert darkness, the sky
A wall of impassive indigo
The moon a ghost, ancient
When the sun was young
To walk this vast
Wind pricked emptiness
Is to feel the grim beauty of nature
As...

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,

The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe GodGrowing up in a loving family of seven—
church on Sundays,
bare feet running wild,
sharing a tricycle with three—
double the fun, one standing behind the seat.
Dreaming of white dresses and Prince Charming,
following my dreams,
praying in church
to a God so giving.
Marveling at trees, sunrises, sunsets,
the deep blue sea—
His touch lingering in the beauty of life,
painting a picture so...

Everything and EveryoneI am a golden sunset after rain
A warm light emerging from pain
Sometimes blue, sometimes gray
Forever changing and experiencing the array
I am Venus and I am Mercury
The stars, the Earth, and the Sea
I am everything and everyone
Consciousness belongs to no one

Golden Glimmers of the Sun*Playing around with Alliteration
The sun softly shimmers with gold glimmers
Sanguine sunsets dance marvelous minuets
Before falling abed, he briefly bled
for having to close his eyes
beneath stunning skies when daylight dies
Revived, reborn each misty morn
With radiant rays, he deftly displays
his fading luminous light in flourishing flight

The Sun vs The Sunset
The sunset, with hues rich and deep,
Said, "My beauty, the world's bound to keep!"
But the sun, with a wink,
Said, "You're just a quick blink,
While I'm shining, the world's wide awake, asleep!"

SunsetAs I see her off,
You will see her
At your place also.
Am I dreaming, no.
I keep a smile with
Hope on my face.
Always believing,
Always loving....

The Heart Of NightThe heart of Night pierced by first light,
Dawn gives birth to a brand new day.
And wildflowers instinctively;
begin opening their petals.
Shadows scurry back into cracks,
the heart of Night pierced by first light.
And color steps from the shadows,
as the moon completes its cycle.
A spectacular sun rises
once more, to push back the darkness.
The heart of Night pierced by...
