Speaks Volumes Poet Rhyme

Jolted by Twilight

Quote: "Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise." Unknown Author of a well known poem.

As the day meanders by,
Sunbeams still stream from the sky, 
With so many promises left to fulfil.
And a relaxed sensation lingers still.
Euphoric stimulations rush through my mind,
A pulsating tempo, urging me on to unwind.
A peace in knowing, what I know to be so,
I fret for the knowledge of what I don’t know.
Alarmed yet inspired by the sun’s sudden sinking.
The loss of this day sets my mind feverishly thinking.
A panicked realization, harshly jolted by twilight.
The day is ending and turning to night.
I watch the golden orb with its crimson halo.
Each unfinished promise must wait, this I know.
The sun melts into the far off shadowy hills,
My failure to complete each task, now gives me chills.
However, sunset’s glowing beauty of splendor untold.
I rest as night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.
With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone. 
Knowing that tomorrow’s arrival is surely set in stone.

Susan Ashley November 9, 2024 at 9:59 AM Dear SV, it's wonderful to see you back! So sorry to read below about the hardship experienced by you and your husband in the last few months. My prayers to you and your family for your husband's continued recovery. Your poem is a poignant introspection. I was especially moved by your verses "A peace in knowing, what I know to be so,/I fret for the knowledge of what I don’t know." Your vivid emotional and physical imagery brings me to the center of your poetic scene with ease. Warmest wishes my poetess friend.. ~Susan Speaks Volumes November 9, 2024 at 12:45 PM Dear Susan, such a warming comment you have bestowed. I resigned myself to never writing again, seeing it as an indulgence and a frivolous waste of time. A chain of thoughts sprung to mind when I read the title of this challenge, and was compelled to offer them as a Soup post. Maybe in times of stress, a little selfishness is allowable, even though I know my time could be more productively spent. Thank you for your delightful encouragement. Best wishes from Wen.
