"I Saw the Sun Bleeding in the Horizon"

rrodriguez

I saw the sun bleeding in the horizon;

Orange and red blood he bled.

This awed me;

I questioned the sun.

“Why are you bleeding,” I said.

“Is it that you're hurt?”

“It’s not pain,” he said,

“It’s the warmth of my embrace. "

  • Comment from author about the poem: The sun in the horizon holds great symbolism. I wrote this poem thinking of all the times we look in awe to the orange red horizon and see the sun fading away. The scene is so beautiful and relaxing.
