Just Beyond the Sunset
Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me
Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny
Where the purple mountains
Lie in deep tranquillity
There I’ll find the treasure
Of love eternally
Just beyond the sunset
Waits someone so fair
Just beyond the sunset
All alone they wait there
Their hair is golden
The colour of the sand
Their eyes sparkle in the night
Like diamonds in your hand
Just beyond the sunset
Lies a home for me
Where the world is peaceful
Like a paradise should be
Just beyond the sunset
Someday is where you’ll find me
This poem is lovely to look at. It is so neat and organized that I cannot help but like it. It is divided into three commonplace stanzas. A structured rhyme scheme of A-B-A-B-C-D-E-D. I like how the last stanza is completely different. It kinda drills the message in.
ReplyDeleteThe idea that most pops out to me in this poem is the idea of sunset being like the end of life. with this in mind you can read the poem and get an interpretation that the writer has lost someone "Just beyond the sunset
ReplyDeleteWaits someone so fair
Just beyond the sunset
All alone they wait there"
Even tho he has lost someone it does not seem like a sad poem. He does seem to have some nostalgia but also patience to reach that sunset saying that "Just beyond the sunset
someday is where you'll find me"
