Sunsets

As the sun-kissed the earth's cheek

 As nature played her every beat

The rhythms soothing my soul so deep

Hiding away from thoughts that ruin my sleep. 

As I gazed at the sky

The crisp golden sky

I wondered about days

That made me cry

All the times that I fell weak inside

Blind eyed to the brighter side

The sinking sun lit up my face

I thought about those in their darkest days

Having nothing left other than a smile

Yet strong enough to walk for miles

Unaware of what tomorrow would hold

There are people still standing firm and bold

Brave when things are tough and cold

Facing life as it unfolds.
