Sonnet 55: The Day Now Gone Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 55: The Day Now Gone

Rating: 5.0


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.

Beautiful, relaxing poem. I love the eveningtime - we have some beautiful sunsets here in Missouri. I sit at my kitchen table and watch the setting sun, and peace comes over me. And you're right - when the day has been well-spent, it is so rewarding to look back on it.

As we get older the days just seem to get shorter. We need to make the most of them. A great poem.
