The brilliant sunrise
of the dazzling sun,
does not always signify
that the day has begun.
To some it marks 'midday'
to some it marks the end,
of another moment,
or another fashion trend.
To some it means 'good night'
and most it means 'good day'
'it's time for work' for others
but sometimes 'time to play.
In the desert, it's dreaded
the arctic, welcomed heat,
it sometimes warms their noses,
it sometimes burns their feet.
No two people are all alike
but the sun, is ever the same
yet we all perceive it differently,
and the sun receives the blame.
Author notes
We see things not as they are, but as we are...H.M.T
yet we have a tendency to blame that which we see for the faults, instead of discovering the true problem lies in our perception.
