Beyond The Sunset

Oh, that was funny.  I mentioned the word Beyond, and then said “I like that word, it’s a good prompt”.  Anyways, my tenant started singing “Beyond the sunset”.   Made me smile.  So here’s a link so you can smile too. 

Beyond the Sunset

Beyond the Sunset
I heard those words
Picked through youtube videos
Finding one for others to enjoy.

I got to thinking
What does it mean?
Beyond the sunset?
What could the author be thinking.

I did this of course
Not really knowing the song
Not having looked at the words.
Just wondering.

So what is just beyond the sunset?
A dark, starlit night?
The close of a day?
Perhaps the end of a life?

What is beyond the sunset?
Perhaps, just perhaps
It’s a brand new day.
A whole new start!

Imagine it for a moment.
The end of a life lived
in Service to God.
A glorious start of praising God.

Oh, the glory of that eh?
The wonder of being
able to praise God
Perfectly, as holy beings.

Imagine for a moment
a dark night, followed
by a brand new day.
A chance to start anew.

To leave behind the
brokenness and sorrow
of yesterday.
Possibilities run wild.

Imagine now
the end of a day.
A time of reflection,
A chance to consider well.

The course of a day.
Time to think, to
Plan change based on
Looking well at life lived.

Beyond the sunset.
Glory in heaven?
A brand new start?
Time of reflection and change?

What is beyond your sunset?

I do hope you’ll join in with us on Miss Kate’s Five-Minute-Friday word prompt.  Five minutes of consideration on a word prompt.  Five minutes to simply write for the joy of writing.  It’s a lovely thing to do.  Come on, Join in won’t you?

    In heaven we will literally be beyond the sunset because there will be no sun, only Jesus. What an interesting idea.

    Well done!

    You made me think…

    What will stand beyond the sunset,
    what glories rise up in the night?
    Will there be a golden trumpet
    playing notes of bright starlight?
    What will blaze across the heavens
    to outshine the Milky Way?
    Is this how Almighty leavens
    our path unto His new day?
    And when that new day is breaking
    what shall flare out of the dawn?
    What great-started undertaking
    will our hands be set upon
    and our greatest gifts applied
    to work with Him, side-by-side?

    This – this is what I am looking forward to –

    “To leave behind the
    brokenness and sorrow
    of yesterday.”

    We are living too much in this part of life right now and I look forward to the whole world finding out way out of it Beyond The Sunset.

    Inspiring thoughts in your poem, Annette. This song came to mind immediately from the prompt. We look forward, and we gain insight into the present.
