Let's Watch the Sunset

Let's Watch the Sunset

Work, a hungry lion, devoured your time
And left your self-esteem slashed, your life drained.
This fierce brute with claws dripping blood and slime
Ripped through your day, its grip over you reigned.

Frustration sets his throne on our worn souls
As we prepare and eat an evening meal.
Daily the beast waits behind our set goals,
Claws tear our will; the blood spilt is our zeal.

So, dear, let's sit on the back steps and rest.
Push your fragrant soft hair against my face.
Let my arms embrace you, as we face west
And watch the sun finish its daily race.

Its wondrous rays warm the earth and our hearts.
Its hues soothe the clouds and our inmost parts.

-William
