Not Yet

I had a long day and I carried the world upon my shoulder, The journey was long lonely and arduous, I want to lie down and close my eyes ... But not yet. The sun is setting gently and a weary wind sighs through the evening haze, I want to lay my burden down and quietly sneak away from the din of the day ... But not yet. I had my days in the sun I frolicked and I had fun, It's time to retreat to my safe haven and reminisce about those willful days, I am ready to confess and mend my ways ... But not just yet!

This paints a beautiful picture with soft, colorful imagery. You seem to have a very classic style that I find comforting and inspiring. Perhaps this piece portrays mixed feelings. I sense both comfort, relief, and sadness. Thank you so much for sharing.
