Sunrise, Sunset

Not just over the sky and sea,

but the smaller dawn of 

understanding,

the sunset of a job well-done,

or task completed--

the brilliant colors of opportunities ahead,

and the fading away of secret sorrows.

Where does it say we must look to the sky for glory?

Why can we not seek it here,

In our own hearts

and the hearts of others?

Encouragement, satisfaction

in the cycles of our lives:

rising, setting

suns and moons and stars

of our own creation,

our own destinies.
