Despite the freedom of beautiful sunsets That it encounters and loses itself At least once in a while.......Very interestingly you have drafted this poem on sunset is very thrill giving, amazing and philosophical too. Rustle of the leaves in sunset gives breeze of wonderful sense...10

The scene you had seen is beautifully presented in the poem. Seeing is one thing and putting the feelings into words the other key thing.

A beautiful portrait of a sunset while the ruminating mind keeps asking questions. Such is the influence of Nature, it sets the mind thinking. Brooding among the beauty of Nature is a very poetic thing to do. The poet penetrates into things that are lost upon others. A great write characteristic of your creativity n deep insight. Love the imagery.10

Answer we may find or not. That is immaterial. A poet has to necessarily muse and ask unending questions - beautifully. Will be happy to know if I have done the latter.
