First Place.

Contest by Charles Messina

Before The Day Turned Into Night Sun is down on shimmering glow. Soon intensity to turn low. Day light to lose brightness, slow. Gloomy evening next to follow. Setting Sun welcoming twilight. Sunrays tend to fade, no more bright. With darkness day light starting fight before the day turned into night. Day light has completed its task. Already wearing misty mask now encompassing dusty dusk. Relishing evening tea chewing rusk. At end of day, me to lament for bygone days : those lost moments !

That last phrase speaks of the end of a day, 'those lost moments'... when I wasn't noticing what was good, before it was gone. Things like that 'shimmering glow' which metaphorically could be any shining joy.
