Sunrise/Sunset

A day beginning and ending

Lavenders, pinks, and blues
Darkness becoming light with pastel hues,
Before me another day lies
As I am breathless at another sunrise.

The brightness of the sun
Asks me what good today I've done;
Have I wasted another day,
Or did I brighten another's way?

The evening settles in
Birds hush, silence surrounds me then,
Bright bold reds, golds, oranges met
Dawn, day, dusk...another sunset.

Dark silence, quiet, a haunted hush
Disturbed only by the wind's rush;
Eyes close in a deep sleep
While angel's my soul guard and keep.
