The glorious sunrise begins a new day,
Its' rays reaching my face, warming my soul.
The reddish glow softening, illuminating,
all of the endless possibilities coming alive.
Each new encounter bringing wonder,
spreading joy where none had been before.
The walk through life following winding paths,
Each way bringing us closer to our journeys end.
The sun sets, ending the glorious day,
shadows falling across my face, chilling my spine.
The Darkness envelopes me, but I am not dead,
I am only sleeping, the sunrise will come again.
