Sunrise and Sunset

• Artist: WitchAlchemist
• Description: There's been some losses in my family lately, and I wanted to write something comforting. It doesn't rhyme, but if you know about poetry, you'll know it doesn't have to. The message is what matters, and hopefully it helps. I thought I might feel better to post it, and maybe someone else dealing with loss will appreciate it too. Thanks.

Life and death are like sunrise and sunset.
In the dawn, the sun is bright and young,
And slowly it passes through the sky.
Some seasons it stays longer, and others, passes by.

When sunset comes, the sun has seen many things.
It has known people, good and bad, love and tragedy,
In it's journey it's seen family, it's seen despair and joy,
And it's known the tender moments of a quiet afternoon.

The sun has seen the smiles on the faces of those it loved,
And tears too, for in sorrow and in joy, there are many.
But of all the sights the sun has seen, the hearts that it has touched,
It is love that makes that sun so bright.

And love does not require nearness,
One can love from afar,
And even when those who love are apart,
They're still within our heart.

And inevitably as time demands-the sun will set,
But it's important to recall,
The sun never truly dies,
It's merely moving on.

To new travels, new adventures, new places to explore,
And all the love it carries, it will carry evermore,
So do not sorrow at the sunset,
Remember that it is not the end.

Those we love we'll carry,
In our hearts, our thoughts, our memories,
Until they day our own sun sets,
And we're together again.

The sun is very good
It helps people have a look
Though it passes by so do
Some good and bad lives
Without it's love to burn and shine
I wouldn't have had a chance
To live my life
Unlike the sunset are we
Not always good
And even could be unbalancing
Which in return could be
A true ray of hope and light
That we can be with temporary
Good along with bad but choose
In our minds maybe lose attachment
To those burning souls
And live with them more and more
And pass on the flaming torch
