Notes About The Poem

That blessed moment of the day

The craziness of the world
comes to a close in silence
draws breath and shuts down
gathers into a ball of fire
gracefully falls into darkness
to dream of a better tomorrow

Sounds like a good idea, let today go, there's always tomorrow to try it all again.
