Sunset Beginnings

At sundown near my home, the blue celestial sphere dons red and bathes woodlands in empyrean fires. It’s a mystical moment on the wheel of life when the alpha and the omega become one.


The awesome wonder inspires heart and mind to communicate, then spill wisdom into whispers of evening breeze. It’s a cautionary reminder—leave bygone days behind and embrace the idea that sunsets are new beginnings, once and for all. The experience weighs on my heart, until I give it wing with prose and poetry.


At sundown blue celestial sphere dons red.

Said wonder and dulcet nightingale song

Put thoughts of drudgery and grind to bed,

Ask weary heart and soul to come along

On journeys with forward-looking mindset

That master burdens of life large and small,

Which darken bliss and give rise to regret—


Embrace sunset beginnings…once and for all.
