The sun is setting…
It seems that my heart
Is setting as well.

The sky is darkening…
My path seemed to be clear,
Until I tripped and fell.

Midnight has arrived…
Can I find any peace?
Look! There is the starlight!

The moon is shining!
Could there be rest from harm,
Found in the dark of night?

The never-ending night…
Like a watchman I wait,
For a glimpse of the dawn.

Dark struggles for control,
Putting forth all its strength,
And the dew rests on the lawn…

Look out towards the East!
Is that a ray of light,
Come to conquer the night?

Lo! The sun shows her face!
The darkness is all gone,
Vanquished by the dawn!

Always amazing what a new day will bring...
how quickly emotions can be turned on a dime...
or a rhyme...
or a quiet remark that seems to stop time...

always amazing
what a new day
will bring...

A voice of honesty

   of flattery

Beautiful. Dawn welcomes you at the end of the nightly struggles.
A theme I love much.
Love, Margherita

Yes, a new day does bring some light to the dark.

A very good poem, Poet, Sir.
