Sunday 24th jan: 2010.
This Sunday I went to the park for a walk,
& every time I go there, nature never fails to reward me.
My impatient mind wanted to pick up the phone,
& start calling someone, anyone.
I forbid myself, literally, & continued to stroll,
& suddenly when I looked up, this is what I saw:
"A red sun setting
Red & round, like the bride's ornament:
In a beautiful blue sky!
A red sun setting
Red & round, like an apple well polished:
In a beautiful blue bowl!
A red sun setting
Red & round, God's own fine print:
In a beautiful blue sky!
The kind of sunsets you'd travel miles to see..
& it was there, a free surprise gift.
All the more pretty for below it lay the ugliest building ever,
grey & dismal, all cement & cementy.
Tinged with the glow of that sunset!
