बस यूँही……….

Sunsets are always pretty. The day’s tiring journey comes to an end for a well deserved rest, leaving behind a collage of memories. Good and bad, happy and sad. My thoughts on being witness to this sublime sunset on Saturday coalesced into a few lines
.
C’est la vie….
.
At sunset the fiery orb descends to rest
On western horizons, darkness is imbued
With the chiaroscuro of a gentle, ethereal nest
As rainclouds gather, memories crowd my mood
.
The day’s events, a jumble in my mind
A kaleidoscope of joy and sorrow’s find
The sun, refreshed, shall rise with morning’s prime
But memories’ weight, alas, shall never unwind
.
For time, a thief, steals moments, swift as flight
Leaving us with recollections, bittersweet and bright
Yet still we cherish them, though they bring us pain
For in their depths, our lives are lived, and love doth reign
.
C’est la vie, indeed, a truth we must confess
Embracing life’s complexities, we find our happiness.
.
I’ve followed the traditional Shakespearean sonnet structure, with a rhyme scheme and iambic pentameter. The sonnet explores the idea of the sun setting, and the memories of the day crowding the mind, with the acceptance that the burden of memories never lightens, but we cherish them anyway, as they make up our lives and experiences.
