Sunset Poem by Jim Yerman

As I watch the sun snuggle behind the mountains
I think…as the day begins to cease
how a sunrise brings us hope
while a sunset brings us peace.

A sunset not only heralds in the swan song of the day…
It is also the opening number of night's beautiful ballet…

A sunset not only announces that the day behind us is through,
it is a testimony to how an ending can be quite beautiful too.

A sunrise reminds us to welcome the day as her beauty stretches across the sky
While a sunset is there to remind us there is also beauty in goodbye.

So as I sit here watching the sunset exhale her last beam…
I bid adieu to another day…and head off now…
to dream….
