Sunset At Dusk

There's something great about a day that's done;
   fulfilled or not- yields space for a new slate.
Each sunset paves a path to morning's sun;
     inspires to dream about tomorrow's fate.

On pleasant days, sun-setting soon enshrouds
     the dusk with special colors in our sky,
like soft pink-orange streaks 'neath shiny clouds
     that blend with golden rays to beautify.

What peaceful thoughts pervade the weary mind-
     the glow of skies diffused, yet powerful.
New dawn brings hope, but sunsets leave behind
     the feeling that the day was wonderful.

This gift at each day's end comes faithfully.
     The sun at dusk grants closure- peacefully.

Connie Marcum Wong July 29, 2018 at 10:44 PM Sunsets are awesome but dawn seems to last longer. I think it is because waiting in the quiet dark for sunrise just feels holy! Your poem is very beautiful and I adore twilight just before the dawn and just after sunset when all is in silhouette. Beautiful lines Sandra that I am sure to see this on the winning list! : ) Sandra Haight July 30, 2018 at 8:23 AM Thank you for your lovely, empathetic comments, Connie. I love them both, but my muse chose 'sunset' this time! Hugs, Sandra
