She Rises

 She Rises

What a gift, a sun that is setting.

Just before she carries herself to another place,

She sets herself on fire, instructs the clouds to rise,

And shows her true colors for only the mystical souls,

The few patient enough to remain captivated by her,

even in her time of departure, demise, rest.

Yet determined, after revealing, reflecting her inner most colors,

Only to surrender them to darkness,

She rises, once more, waking us all to hope,

and the prospect of bringing, of being, the light.

What a gift, a sun that is setting.

What a triumph, she rises again.
