I sat by
Wished my life away
Watched the sun set
And wanted more
Than wasteful regret
Still I sat
With darkness and despair
Filtering through summer air
Twilight, golden and promising
Sinking unused
But there always new
Tomorrow awaiting
Eagerly inviting
Promising another day
Yes, another way
With eyes tuned in
Warming sun mine
Stars faithful and true
Music's magic within
All there to share
A new me to embrace

I like the way you have used rhyme in your first stanza, but your have not allowed it to control or restrict the flow and content of the rest of your poem. You have given your readers a fresh look at 24 hours. We all need the hope of a new me every day, no matter how great the 'weather' was the day before. Tom
