Have you?

                                           ~Giftin Wilson

Imitation is the key to evolve, 
Beauty, around which our lives revolve. 
 
To bring beauty into life, 
We strive, 
To emulate the beauty, 
We thrive. 
But man forgets beauty lies in the mind, 
Lies not in the toys, to play he find. 
 
Have you seen a beautiful sunrise? 
Which often brings me surprise, 
Surprise am I a worthy ally? 
Or just another guest like a butterfly. 
 
Have you felt winter's sun on the skin? Which scream and proclaim you are His kin,
But when I feel it in my solitude, 
I wonder why the heart spills gratitude 
 
Have you seen the ocean burying the dying sun? 
Which promise each time to resurrect like His son. 
The next morning, I witness the sunrise and wonder, if I am worthy of His prize?


Dawn's, winter's and dying sun emits the beauty,
Which the eyes absorb and heart cherish.
But the eminence I behold in You,
My heart absorbs, my soul cherish.

' Thou ', in the 2nd line, which is an archaic(old) word, could refer to the narrator's partner whose understanding about life belongs to the old generation. I would not use the terms su...
