Slow Walk Into A Red Sunset
Can you slow walk into a red sunset
To find hidden and fine treasures within?
Stop wanting all the gold that you can get
Rise far above this shallow world of men.
Will you stop, to just see what you have now
And give thanks for gifts already given?
Consider love's greatest blessings and how
To live life true and truly start living?
Can you open your eyes to see hope's gifts
Listen for echoes that bring back true gold
Search for love and deep romance that uplifts
live life fully, before waking too old?
Will you slow walk into a red sunset
Live life true, not gamble it as a bet?

Sonnet
Note. Woke today and found it was high time that I wrote another sonnet...
Now while looking back from with a red sunset, I see things a lot clearer and have far more understanding of man and his devotion to failure and grasping for shallow treasures this world presents as its traps...
