THE SUN NEVER SETS
By JohnnyD

The sun never sets as Johnny never rests...

 
THE SUN NEVER SETS

 
After a hard days work

Ready to retire

Can’t resist the temptation

For few more magical moments

Striking the canvass with brush of colours

Vanishes into horizon silently

Engulfing the world in darkness

Declares rest in half part of the world

 
As it rises again in the other half

Bringing a new day alive

Without even a blink of rest

The world does without any thoughts

Day in and day out

Rigorously continuing the momentum

Spreading light in our lives

Never sets, but rises every time endlessly

The Sun Never Sets

Beautiful imagery Johnny. I guess the idea of the sun painting colours is the idea you got from my children's poem - and it is absolutely true. It is interesting to see how the colours change as the sun slips over the horizon. Of course, in my poem I am contrasting the sun and moon together - the variation on the light and also the variation in temperature. I will probably post it on GW later. I find it difficult to read poetry that doesn't have any punctuation, though. (Don't forget you've missed out your apostrophe in the first line - "day's). Yes, I liked this poem.
