Sunrise Sunset.




There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.

- Henry David Thoreau


How we treasure the last rays of the day because we know they were the last.

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

- Fiddler on the Roof


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Filled with all my years.

- Ghostwise
