Why do I like the sunset so?

Is it the magnificence, the vastness, the unbridled explosion of colors?
Is it because my photos always turn out so spectacular? (hahaaaa, mine are the best!)
Or is it my key to accessing peace--effortlessly, without trying, daily

It's a ponder I enjoy each and every time I watch the sun blaze, soften, dip and then melt into the horizon... from my front row seat at home... yep lucky me... and of course when I'm in magical places like Goa. Its remarkable how my mind and senses open when the sun sets.


Sunsets are me for an awesome, personal experience
But one I like knowing is shared by everyone everywhere; we see and feel the same
Almost Godly in giving me and everything we know Life, generally and daily
Showing me that beauty is fleeting; I must be present and aware to enjoy it

My soft end to a usually hard day; when I'm lucky to catch it
What I'm reminded to respect; sleep too late and mornings suck
Slows down my breathing; makes me aware of myself
Relaxes birds the same; they glide into smaller circles and then settle down to rest

I like knowing too that the sun actually hasn't really set
Rather a refractive illusion... from there, to here
My life source, air, regularly hiding our original source, for a wee few moments
Their own sneaky little meeting to plot the wonders of my next day.

yaay!
