Just back from class chalet, will blog bout it when i have more time, meanwhile....

Sunrise, Sunset, Thunderstorm

The sun will rise and hence must set...
The sun will set and hence must rise....
Nothing gold can stay?

Within the last 36 hours, I witnessed the above 3 events. Nature. Unpredictable?

Sunrise is best described by Robert Frost's poem,

Nothing gold can stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so for an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay

The flurry of emotions tht flutter by during sunrise is throughly shown in the poem. Awaiting in the darkness, the delight and euphoria of first light, leading on to the entrancing subtle colour changes of the sky and the slowly expanding horizon of light. The sky from orange and purplish, to green, to light blue, to white and finally to sky blue. The surroundings from pitch black to shadows, to vague outlines and fianlly to clearly defined images. These beautiful changes takes place all within 10 minutes and at the end of 10 minutes, there is this disappointment cos "nature's gold" has disappeared.

Sunset is somewhat similar to sunrise, just that at the prime of sunset, a warm fuzzy orange shade tht is just so comfortable to be in is formed. Also, it last for less than 10 minutes before the last light and the place slips into darkness.

Even when life sucked big time, after looking at a sunrise or sunset, one would perhaps realise tht, life is not bad after all, there are still beautiful stuff around to appreciate.
The sea holds my secrets.
The sky gives me hope.
The wind carries my unspoken wishes.
The rain drowns my tears.
The sun provides the reason to smile
The sands records my footsteps

As always, nature is always unpredictable. The exact sky that displayed the spectrum of colours during the sunrise and glowed orange during the sunset, was overcast less than 3 hours of working its miracles. The result is as follows.
