The sun set over the horizon

You watch the sun, a glorious bright orange ball low in the horizon. It casts it's orange/pink streaks all over the sky, making the buildings glow with warmth. Any person would look at this and say it's beautiful. It's empowering. However, as fast as a few minutes, the sun has sunk below the horizon, leaving you in awe of first it's beauty, but right after the stark difference of how it leaves the world within minutes of radiance. The sky starts to darken, soon it becomes pitch black. Was the sun even there to begin with? Will life stay dark forever, the sun leaving you only of it's beaming memory?
