Sunset to Sunrise

Sun, when you fall, I don’t know what to do.

I want to catch you in my hands, and set you back into place, among those brightly colored clouds, in that ever present sky.

The colors that you bring, when you set, are unbelievable.

Then, again, when you rise, I am in awe.

You bring beauty and life, for us all.

The colors sing to my eyes.

My soul feels the joy of each night and new morning, sky.

Yet, I still feel as though, when you fall, I must catch you.

I watch as you decent and disappear, to who knows where.

There are stories of the sea taking you, but they must just be tales.

For you wake us up each morning with your glowing breath of life.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, I am grateful for you, for all that you do.

Sun, thank you.

I love you, I really, truly do.

Fall Chills

Fall… You arrive so quickly.

So briskly, with your chill.

It’s like you creep in, during the night, without letting me say goodbye to my dear, sweet summer.

I don’t ever wish for summer to end, yet when you arrive, I am grateful.

Though, you sure do not ease yourself in, with your brisk nights and sharply chilly mornings.

The colors you bring are so beautiful.

Your chill really is, at times, close to miserable, yet, I forgive you, for the beauty that your bring with you is.. well… it makes it all worthwhile.

What a charmer you are, as you warm us up with the sight of your colors.

None are the same, each different shades and each so beautiful on their own, but especially together.

Fall, I guess you can stay for a while…

Until winter blows in and takes over…

Maybe, just maybe, next year, I may hope for your smile of leaves so brightly colored; red, orange and yellow.

Thank you for showing me the swift kiss of a breeze and a soft hug of the falling leaves.

Goodness, you sure do give me the chills…
