The Golden Sunset
Most people gaze at the sunset than they do with sunrise.
In the morning it’s always the constant rush for work
Or sleeping late when weekend’s on.
But sunset coincides with time when work’s done.
Sunset Over Perth City from Perth Hills
As I look out towards the city
And behold the sunset in all its glory
Streaks of red, orange, yellow and gold
The magnificence of colours gradually unfold.
City lights below slowly twinkle on
Seeming to respond in a song
As the sky slowly darkens
The multitude of lights brighten.
Like all good things twilight soon fades
Darkness and night come in their wake
How fleeting must all this be
Like all the wonders that we see.
Sunset precedes the dawn of a new day
Brave yourself, be glad and pray
The dark hours will soon pass away
Dawn and sunrise will be on their way.
