When the sun disappears from our presence
Hidden away by huge orbs of dark clouds
Spirits become forlorn, emotions tensed
Our focus is lost, and we float about.
As if we just lost our best friend, we mourn
The days when the sun made it all sublime
We could see our life and future far out
Sure, all of our dreams would come true in time.
Suddenly it all disappears from view
Fears enter our being, and hopes are gone
Whisked away by menacing threats of doom
We blame the elements for this let down.
In so doing, we fail to see the truth
That we were made in the image of God
That within us lie the strength, the virtues
And vision to reach beyond our look out.
In truth, the sun shines on, even when shunned
By storm cloud like forces out of its grasp
That oppose its purpose, till once again
It breaks through and in its rays we bask.

On the pier, looking out,
The lake is waving all about.
The sun is setting,
Pink and orange colors, the lake is getting.
I watch the colors glistening,
It's time! Are you listening?
The sun just touched the lake,
Did you hear the sizzle that it makes?
Watching the final colors slowly fade away,
A peaceful ending to a busy day.
The sun shines for you.
So why are you so blue?
To your heart you must be true.
Which sometimes is hard to do.
You know what makes you happy.
You know what makes you sad.
Then why are you torturing yourself so bad?
I know you love what you have.
But you long for things you can`t.
Changing from simple to very complicated.
Something you've not anticipated.
So put a smile upon your face.
And walk head held high out of this place.
The world is yours to chose what to do.
The sun shines for you.
I’ve fallen in love
With the beauty of
How the sun sets at the beach,
Leaving you without speech.
The beach gets quiet,
Gone is the daytime riot.
The sun sets in that big pink sky
Revealing the stars on high.
Life can be so taxing
And the sunset is so relaxing.
It takes your breath away
This sight at the end of every day.
So next time you get the chance
To stop for more than a glance,
For Heavens sake do so,
And let me know
Your thoughts when you see
That which is true beauty.
i see a sun that never sets,
that enlighten inner quest,
by transcending hearts gate
to overcome lives fade
i see a sun that never sets,
burns stoically for the rest
to help achieve forbidden glory
of those lives gloomy
I see a sun that never sets,
for millions pride sake
breaking law of nature
like a rebel dares death
i see a sun that never sets
and he is a man on mission
with sublime noble reason
to fight human discrimination
i see a man surmount a sun
brilliant high in the sky
nevertheless refusing to lie
unlike a sun that sets everyday
truly Dr. Ambedkar, a dalit icon
is the only sun, dalits reckon
and world shall not witness
any other sun that never sets
