Learn from the planets

There is a time of day when the sun goes down Showing me that the end is indeed beautiful When the sun sets, and you remember to look You see colours combined Those colours are a mixture of many we find disturbing Smoke, dust, air and energy Light and darkness As it fades it affects us We slow down as we haste back, to where we started when it came up We are so infatuated with all the illusions That we live in it and let it be all we are And wonder why it hurts They say the sun cannot live with the moon It’s either day or night We’ve not noticed that although they are, not within each other They have a balance, beside each other You’ve seen this; you’ve seen them separate But together on opposite sides of the horizon They know It is with this harmony they create their beauty Do not live IN the illusion, But realize its value And so I will use this, their relationship and take what is, to make my own colours
