As I sit and watch the sunset 
With the warm air on my face  
There is so much to life’s cycles 
That I still need to embrace 
 
The tranquil feeling in the sky 
The beauty of the day 
It simply captivates my soul 
In an extraordinary way 
 
It’s the mystery of the sunset 
As it falls beyond the Earth 
The assurance that tomorrow 
Will another day give birth
