Sunset IV by *

deviantARTThere is nothing more evocative than a sunset or sunrise. It is the one image known to man that brings with it such an intense outpouring of emotion that it has become such a universally understood symbol. There is nothing else in this world with that sort of power. You can never do what a sunset does, nor can you ever hope to truly replicate a sunrise's magic. You can not do what it does with a puppy--what if a certain person is a cat-person instead? You could never replicate its power with a smile. Smiles come in many flavors and one person may take poorly to what was meant to be taken richly.
Sunsets and sunrises hold within themselves many symbols, each different yet the same from person to person. An end becomes a beginning, a sad thing becomes happy; Memories beget nostalgia begets stories beget traditions. Truly, this is a powerful thing.
