From the darkest black
To the brightest blue —
That’s how a sunrise changes the sky.
At the same time,
It makes me smile
And makes me cry,
As well as strum the chords
Of my heart to poetry.
We make do with a sunset
Because we can’t afford
To watch a sunrise.
Until we do
And know why
A sunset is no sunrise,
And feel in one’s soul why
It is so worth it.
Your poem invites us to contemplate the sunrise not only as a natural phenomenon, but as a metaphor for transformative moments in life that fill us with purpose and emotion.
Kind regards.

They both can be breathtaking yet different in their meaning, yes. 🌄 “Because we can’t afford… ” thought-provoking. Thank you for the share, Mia and best wishes with your novel. ✨
