same sky

I look out at the sunset
the lines running across the sky
I close my eyes
I sigh
I think my God for reminders

how many sunsets have I seen in this place?
some with tears, and others with a smile on my face
and still the sun set
the day ended
and a new day began

and I am still breathing
and living
and finding reasons to smile
and laugh

perhaps I do not have everything I want
but I am not without, am I?
no, my blessings are abundant
there is room for joy

and everywhere I travel
the sunset will follow
my Father will follow
and love, because I do love so thoroughly
yes, love will also follow me

it cannot be helped
I carry it with me in my bones
the sunset lines
are imprinted upon my soul
