How do you do this?
How do you make the sunset appear so majestically across the western sky like this?
How is it that when I try so hard not to be drawn to the beauty,
the very depth of splendor that unveils before my very eyes
that I cannot bear to keep from watching?
There is something so beautiful,
so serene, so ethereal about the setting sun
at the end of the day.
All I know is that the Beauty I see
calls to me
and I feel compelled to capture
it whenever I can.
Dear Universe/Dear God Above,
if ever you hear my prayer,
hear it now:
I need your majestic grace, your beauty, your splendor
to adorn my life
I need to know, to feel, to see
that wherever I am going
whatever I am doing
however I am living
always, always, always
you will give to me
the beauty and grace and splendor
of your setting sun.
I cannot bear the thought
of not getting to watch
the sun going down
in the western sky.
Always it is such a display
a work of art
and magnificence
that captures my heart
and makes me know
that I am so insignificant
in the huge scheme of things.
Sunsets are Nature's promise
of another day done
and sunrises
are a promise
of a wonderful day to come!
