A sunset is the master metaphor,
The falling of a curtain, the
Closing of a door, an ending
That is certain, the final
Nevermore, a signal to stand
Down, a reminder that it’s
Time to turn off the light and
Close the door, but
A sunset is also a promise that
We can try again tomorrow
And make some new mistakes,
That the score doesn’t carry over
That we don’t face the same,
Tired fate,
A sunset reminds us that
Tonight, if we get a well-earned
Rest, we can conquer the world
Tomorrow.
