I have a poem that I need help deconstructing, can someone help?

The first part is a description of a fabulous sunset followed by a thunderstorm. The poet hopes that each consciousness witnessing this marvelous manifestation of god will reflect back the same grandness so that such displays will encourage steadiness in one's tasks and avoidance of sin. The idea is that the regularity of the sun setting and rising combined with its spectacular beauty teaches how us how to live. This is reinforced by the very rhythmic meter. We follow a pattern rhythmic as a heartbeat in tune with the breathing in and out of nature. This is the way to peace.
