Light of the Day

Standing on the seashore, I was looking at the sky draped in orange and I saw a brilliant light covering entire place. 

Wow, Sunrise!!

Amused at the sight, I extended my hand. I was able to feel the light. The brightness that surrounded left me speechless. 

For a second, I thought it was mine and I could be with this light forever. 

Closed my eyes to cherish the warmth and glow. 

Suddenly I felt cold waves. Warmth around me seems to have disappeared. 

I opened my eyes. I could see the light that was close to me was gone. Leaving behind only darkness. 

Alas, it was SUNSET!! 

When I turned back, I realized it is sunset only here and the same light that left me has reached the other side of the world. 

Felt good thinking that someone as good as me is basking in glory of the light and enjoying every moment. 

Thinking of that happiness, I can hold on to this darkness.
