Nightfall

The day is vaning around you –
you used to bask in golden light
and now you have to face the night.
All seems but dark and cold and blue.

What once was is forsaken soon.
You did not want it to, and yet
the day has passed, the sun has set
and you’re alone under the moon.

Now you must choose your way from hither
Will you but dwell here in the gloom,
pretending that there is no room
for further days that won’t be with her?

Or will you let the times gone by
turn into memories, fond or cruel
and thus use them as your fuel
to get to where new chances lie?

So if the latter is your choice
then do not linger, venture forth
Your heart the compass, pointing north -
and over new days you’ll rejoice.
