Setting Suns

(written April 2025)

Under a setting sun, couples fall in love as
they gaze into each other’s eyes.
As a setting sun drops below the horizon, all hope dies.
One orb of light can mean different things to many people.
Perception is the lens used.
You will never change how others see you.
What they project, good or bad, is not yours to absorb.
Within you, there is also a light that shines.
When setting suns disappear, allow your tears to dry.
And if the eyes that gaze upon you are
less than kind, forgive them for being blind.
