And now, it is burning red
Tired after a long day's work
Yearning to crash in bed
Casting mysterious shadows on the sandy beach,
And kissing the waves good night
But
Then
Mere hours ago
It was sprinkling its sunshine
Dancing with the waves,
Gazing through the clouds
And bringing life to all things that live
Commencing the transient journey in the sky
When the sun came out, then life began . . .
