Twilight

As twilight breaks
The world awakes
To another unpromised day
It's colorful splendor
Like paint in a blender
The beauty of hope on display

Nature rejoices
In songbird voices
As creatures start milling about
The heart grows lighter
As the sun shines brighter
Forgotten are yesterday's doubts

Then once again
As daylight ends
When the sun tells the earth goodnight
We watch in awe
The colors that befall
Stirring the soul with delight

The sun tells the story
Of life's beauty and glory
From beginning until the end
Peaceful and bright
The calm of twilight
Each one an exalted Godsend

Congrats on your placement in the contest.(But did you mean to write "daylight" in the first line?)

Full definition of twilight: the light from the sky between full night and sunrise or between sunset and full night produced by diffusion of sunlight through the atmosphere and its dust; also : a time of twilight. No sir, I wrote what I meant to write. Thank you for your thoughtfulness:)

I've been 'absent' for about 10 days. I clicked on my most recent poem, read, clicked off and thought, 'something's different.' Clicked back on, and there was the Daniel FACE - that's what was different! Your dog is very attractive, but more so you, and it is a pleasure to meet you - so, hi, Daniel's face. This poem is hot, I love the uplifting content that rolls so poetically from stanza to stanza. I know not about the contest, but this poem is a gem! Congrats on a win, I see ... CayCay

Thank you CayCay. I appreciate your kind comments. I think my dog is far more attractive than I but I do appreciate you noticing. If it was a little larger you could see I have no hair and a white beard and glasses. Thankfully it's so small it's really hard to tell:)
