Before the Sun Goes Down

A day of angry words and pain ends as it began with Not a thought for what lay in between The fading light of memory burns away in heavens flames As the sun races 'yond to dream unseen I turn a cheek full of regret and slowly make my way Down a path where little comfort e’er I’ll find To tarry long there on would find me sleeping all alone To hurry on may leave my pride behind In silence, I surrender to this battle deep inside Though struggles lost and won come back around Peace. Is it found, or made…or something in between? It must be mine before the sun goes down Christopher Thor Britt Motif: Philosophical

Atonement and forgiveness are wonderful things, if only the people we hurt would allow us the closure. I liked the way you expressed this in a poetic and beautiful way. Very nicely done, Christopher. Congratulations on your win, as well!...Thank you very much for the kind congrats on my poem. :)

It is a struggle to forget angry words, thoughts or deeds, but it is a struggle we all share..... I love the thought behind this poem!
