The Sunset Sky
When days go by feeling all the same,
With hope seeming ever so bleak,
Take heart, my friend, don’t cry,
Just look at the sunset sky!
The day may be drawing to a close,
Yet it goes away in all its grandeur.
With hues of crimson and gold,
Oh the stories the skies told!
Like the ever changing sky,
Life doesn’t always remain the same,
Maybe these days are tough,
There will be ones that are not so rough.
Be grateful for the little things,
That you once took for granted.
It is okay, not to be okay,
Be strong, there will be a better day!
It is okay to do things at your own pace,
Even the sunset takes time.
Don’t think about the mistakes of the past,
Or worry about the future and be aghast.
Look at the horizon, at the setting sun,
Celebrate with the sky as its grandeur it displays.
Don’t worry about things, the why and how,
Embrace this moment, here and now.
From the time I’ve been working from home because of Corona, a fairly regular thing that I’ve been doing is taking a walk on my terrace in the evening. I try taking a walk when it almost time for the sunset and I just love watching the sky at sunset. It brings about a sense of peace and just makes me happy. The images at the beginning of this post are some of the pictures I clicked during my walks on my phone. I have a fairly large collection of them now! And these images inspired me to write a poem and here it is.
So yes, these walks are something that I look forward to everyday! What is the one thing that you look forward to each day in these times of lockdown?
Linking up with Esha and Natasha for Wordless Wednesday.
Since we can’t travel for while now, here is a list of books set in different parts of the world that might help fuel your wanderlust!

Love this! So relatable!
It is okay not to be okay. And yet, we will be okay if we are mindful, and embrace the here and now the best we can.
Thank you!
Such beautiful sunsets! We go for a walk on the terrace every morning and evening, too, and the skies have never been as dramatic as they are these days!
Isn’t a wonderful time to walk on the terrace during sunsets? Makes my day!
“Embrace this moment, here and now.” That’s what life is ….. NOW
The sunset is certainly a time one should be with self. It has such healing vibes. Love;y captures Reema
Thank you Monika!
What a beautiful piece of writing and such lovely sunset shots. Your poem is just what I needed to read today. Thank you for this pick-me up. 🙂
Even I try not to miss the sunset most days. Thank you for the reminder, as today I was getting caught up with work and would have let it go. 🙂
Love this beautiful wordy-wordless combination, dear Reema. Thank you so much for linking up with us. Pleasure to have you with us.
Thank you Natasha! I’m glad my poem made you feel better.
I look forward to Yoga in the mornings, my afternoon reading time and walk with my dogs time. 🙂
Lovely! This is so relatable.
Thank you Damyanti!
Those are lovely pics… we could really use more positive pics right now
Thanks Doc! Yes, we definitely need some positivity in these times!
Thanks for these lovely pictures, Reema. I love to watch the sunsets too. Everyday it just gets better and beautiful. The much needed peace during chaos.
I know right? Every sunset is so beautiful and different in its own way.
These are awesome products of your walks and I can see why they would inspire you! Your poem says what many of us only think.
Feel free to share at My Corner of the World
