I wonder why
The hero is
Most often pictured
Riding into the sunset
Embraced
By the warmth
Of the deepest orange
Another day done
Ready for well-deserved rest…
Instead of riding
Toward the sunrise
Layered with colors
Bright and muted
Light calling
Through shadows
To the possibilities
Of a new day, imagined
But, not yet seen
I don’t have an answer.
I only wonder if
Perhaps the sunrise
Might shift focus
To the journey
Instead of the reward

What an amazing gift of thoughts and poetry–Aside from singing, “Sunrise, sunset!” you now have me pondering, Kelley. Your last stanza–how beautiful…yes, perhaps the focus is on the reward. I love this! You’re such a gift! ❣️🌄

It’s MY blessing, Kelley. It’s been a tough week, dear friend. You’ve been in my heart several times. I wanted to jump on WP to be encouraged before I called it a “night” and there you were–your poetry and you! It truly lifts me. I’m so happy to be an encourager for you as you do me! ❣️❣️❣️
