Beautiful Sunset

Bittersweet farewells. Find the joy in every goodbye.

Beautiful Sunset

 

 

 

A beautiful sunset

What a beautiful sunset

 

Ignore all your sorrows

hold back your tears

your soul may despair

but it's a beautiful sunset

 

do not fear the ends

the pain of farewell

try to take in

this beautiful sunset

 

our life is like earth

going through its seasons

moving on its own terms

to its beautiful sunset

 

although it may seem so

it never happens too soon

things always will end

at their beautiful sunset

 

what a glorious day

so hard to let go

but just try to enjoy

this beautiful sunset

I did prefer your first poem, but this is not bad.
Repetition of a phrase adds strength to a poem and this is no exception.
Some small spelling errors - last stanza - glorious for example.

Again, flows fairly well. With a little more time the kinks can be ironed out.

I like this, I thought it was beautiful! great write! ^^

I liked it. Flows well, talks about a lot of deep things, associates so many better feelings with sunset and/or farewell. The repetition was a brilliant idea. Keep it up. :)

This is a good poem; it has a very distinctive rythem to it.
re-reading it, I was reminded of a song, "How can I keep from singing";
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul--
How can I keep from singing?

Regression it is not. This is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. And tonight, just what I needed. Thank you!

You know sunsets are something to behold but oh how they stir the emotions! This is colourfully lamentful! For as many shades of that surreal light a sunset gives off....this devours them! Brilliant!
