I am especially moved by the idea of leaving (as the setting sun does) with good intentions of returning.....but someday it will not; or, more probably, it will set but we won't be around to see its beauty.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773948027407820171.post-5356144280056283052014-10-12T10:07:59.498-06:002014-10-12T10:07:59.498-06:00i'm addicted to the setting sun as well :) the...i'm addicted to the setting sun as well :) there's nothing like it.

Sunsets are my favorite and we dont get many where I live, the trees and mountains block them out.........love the idea of the watcher as the "insecure lover watching her beloved leave"......and then you turn it around in the last stanza to your own leaving.
