Sonnet 55: The Day Now Gone

The evening of the day is upon us All our hopes and aspirations lay bare All the accomplishments and all the fuss All the hundreds of things we did with care. Now twilight will soon bring the night time rest, Stars begin to wake up in the night sky, The moon shines through the window; welcome guest. Time to sit and ponder, nothing awry. Time to relax and let the day take its course Just to unwind as the evening unfurls The day can no longer make claim with force To meditate on and remove all the whirls. Spend the day well, you will be rewarded With comforting thoughts so well afforded.
