If life is a river, a sunset is a poet,

If life is a river,
As wise men have always claimed,
Then I propose a proposition :
Sunset is definitely a poet,
For on water flowing
One there can get the proper hues
Of life,
Of that unclouded joyous sky -
Lucid straight,
Pretty conspicuous
Like a big canopy
Unbarred, limitless,
as it can ever get,

If life is a river
Then sunset
Is a poet,
Full of smoking teacups,warm,
A group of children running around
Like humming bees, a busy swarm,
Filling in the general serenity,
And beautiful still life portraits
Of trees forming perspective,
As if a photographic scene,

If life is a river,
Then sunset
On it, is a poet.
