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?
