A Full Day Sonnet

A sonnet about how a day ties into life.

The day awakens to a beaming sun
As darkness fades and life begins to rise
A state of peace will spawn; dawn has begun
The still creates a thought where hope ever lies

Then day becomes the dusk; soon light will fade
The sky matures to red, which signals the end
A mind will wonder why it didn't wade
It looks for more, but cannot reprehend

When dusk transforms to night, the world will sleep
At last, all souls have seen the end of day
The twilight shall immerse them in their keep
However, their desire decides if they stay

The day is long, and soon it will be gone
Yet, the journey never ends; night closes will dawn
