Sentimental Journeys

Strolling through my neighbourhood
Breathing in the evening air,
Full of earth and life.

At a distance, I see something glowing.
It intrigues me.
As I step closer I notice the sky is ablaze
A ball of fire deep inside the horizon
Rustic red with hints of burnt orange and yellow
And the golden halo at the pinnacle
Above me, the sky is a grey shade of blue
Ahead of me, the sky is raging
Who has upset you? I want to ask.
Usually, you shine with a gentle light to show people the way.
Now, one glance would reduce me to ashes.

Dear Sun, I hope you can have a restful sleep.
Rise and shine in the morning with your golden hues.
To embrace your earthly beings with warmth and love.
