...surprisingly, it let me catch up with it!
Its eyes were brightly gazing at me,
waiting for me to find it!
I caught the sunlight in my hands
like a hopeful child catches a lightning bug
or butterfly that once danced in the wind...
...except its brilliance didn't diminish;
it became a crescendo, an orchestra of light!
Like radiant strokes of lightning and thunder,
its enchanting sound moved before my eyes!
Like a fire stoked with insatiable wonder,
all who look upon it are mesmerized!
I caught the sunset in my heart,
there it happily lie as if under a tree,
as if it were in a hidden garden
safely locked away within me;
intrigued, it chose to stay and linger endlessly!
No one can steal it,
but all can feel it!
all can hear it near...
...all can see it shimmering the way it does
when it is hidden behind leaves on trees;
it does the same within me!
There is not much it has to say,
because it reveals itself through each glistening ray;
it is a pulsating mystery deep within me!
I caught the sunlight in my hands...
