Sunrise, Sunset











you/I/us 




how similar are 
sunrise and sunset 
colors, (discordant 
echos removed) eyes 
sounding tiny streaks 
of light 


radiant and glorious 
as each second's 
birth? 


close your eyes: 
inhale the fragrance 
of magnificent sameness
in our differences.

    Lovely poem, but I disagree
    afternoon light is so different than early morning light
    AM I the only one who thinks so?
