Enter the morning
Going, going
Time wakes up on its warm side

Enter the morning
Going, going
Light breaks in through the tides

Enter the noon
Going, going
Light creeps in on mothers mind

Enter the noon
Going, going
The sun beats down on child’s smile

Enter the evening
Going, going
The air cools the restless lives

Enter the evening
Going, going
The rain washes the dust aside

Enter the night
Going, going
Mother places her love inside

Enter the night
Going, going
Time lies down to rest its eyes

Enter the morning
Going, going
Time wakes up on its warm side….

Very nice, I am definitly no expert but u will see me trying to pass as one frequently hehe.

The wording 10 points the msg..well it's a diffrence of ideas. When u see the "zombies" come out at the evening I see the sun beckoning the moon to take over the job as guardian so it may rest, the zombies come out while the Sun is seducing the moon on the "acappella" (borrowed from another poem)

Great tho, very on point. I just didn't like one thing, "the sun beating down the child's smile" beating..sounds harsh. I can like...see it in another light tho, like "damn it's evening I got to go to bed" please brainstorm, I am interrested on why you choose that wording.

Thank you all for the responses and the welcomes to the board.

lone wolf: I was trying to convey a day in the summer, and so I felt that the word "beat" fit best in describing the sun's role in the poem - I see your point though, and you are right as the rest of the poem has a tranquil sense to it. Thank you for your words.
