Sunrise and Sunset

God may have made day and night,
but God also made sunrise and sunset
color splashed in amber light
painted skies so we won’t forget


There are more than two ways of being

God may have made day and night,
but God also made sunset and sunrise
bluebird skies, dawn growing bright
pastel rainbows dazzling before with our eyes

There are more than two ways of being

God may have made night and day
but some nights are starry, crystal clear
and some nights are moonless, foggy gray
dewy or frosty, changing with the year

There are more than two ways of being

God may have made night and day
but some days simmer, air thick and still
others frigid, lung-biting, a frozen display
some days are blustery, others tranquil

There are more than two ways of being

God may have made woman and man
but why can’t people be more unique
than we experience night and day can
what we like, who we love, how we think

There are more than two ways of being
