The first day’s sun by Rabindranath Tagore
English: Rabindranath Tagore Русский: Рабиндранат Тагор (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The first day’s sun
inquired
at the presence of a new birth___
who are you?
Did not get a reply.
Years went by.
The last day’s sun
uttered the last question
on the western bank of the ocean
on a still evening__
who are You?
Yet there was no response.

Thank you for this.
What a powerful question…”Who are you?”
I love how it’s noted the setting of the sun “on the western bank of the ocean.”
All good wishes,
