‘Setting Sun’

What have you done...at the end of the day ...🌹

‘Setting Sun’

Another day is
Done
And what have
You done

With the setting
Of the sun

Have you ended
Or
Just begun

Are you indecisive
Or on the run
Full of thanks
Or confused
Or feeling
Numb

What have you done

Did you lend
A helping hand
Or
Did you judge
Before getting
To know someone

What has been said
Cannot be undone

Did you learn a lesson
Or were you acting
Dumb

Did you laugh
And have fun

Was it honesty
Or manipulation
For that certain
One

Tell me
What has been done
With the setting
Of the sun

Did you offer a place
For some to run
Or did you
Shun

What was it that
This day
Overcome

Or did it take
The setting of
The sun
To make you realise
That the here and
Now is where
It’s won

It’s not the who
What
Which one

It’s the caring
Sharing
Giving
Hoping
Coping

Lending a listening
Ear to that
Lost and confused
Someone

That doesn’t know which
Way things
Need to be done

Then once you’ve
Offered a helping hand

Then you know
That you have
Won

And from whence
You have come

What have you done

Did you touch
The heart of
Someone

Or has your
Lesson just begun

With the setting
Of the sun

What have you done...

This is one of my favorite of your poems that I've read so far. The rhyme & rhythm feels very smooth & organic, not a bit crafted, but it's also so well constructed, it seems as if it must've been crafted. I love your message, which seems as if the narrator is asking him/herself these questions, like a self-assessment at the end of the day. Most of my life, I was hyperactive, so I assessed each day at the end of the day. Now I'm disabled & in constant pain, so my standards have changed for what constitutes a good day. If I get a few things done & feel serene despite the pain, it's a great day. I love the standards you use to measure a good day, a good life (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Definitely one of my favorites, Kelly. Sunsets offer a great sense of peace and reflection. You've portrayed that well with each question asked.

Dear Kelly, we are always learning.
"Or has your
Lesson just begun "
Life is a steady teacher and we must find our proper place. In old age, we learn. Giving, is needed to keep the heart hopeful and alive. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

A lovely poem of reflection at the end of a day. Good to pause and reflect. My day was not wasted, much of it was spent helping family, especially those who are in ill health and find the simplest tasks difficult. Yes, I went to bed content and that is more than many can say. Thank you Kelly.

If now i ask these questions to myself with every sunset, I think i would disappoint myself. Life has so much, to live, love, learn,.. to dance and sing, to walk under the moon, alone or with our loved ones. And for a thought or other, we keep passing days. This poem asks so much, from ourselves. Amazing

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou so kind of you, I’m glad it’s made you see something important🌹

How I love the sunrise for its energy and the sunset for its peace. And here you've created such a beautiful moment to teach us of our lives through each wondrous day.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou and I’m glad you respond that way -those are two glorious times of day where we can take time to reflect in the changing colours of time🌹🌹

[lightsong]

You can make any reader stop, think and re-think, You are the best at that because You don't judge, You only offer revelation for those who can rise their awareness, my favorite is this part, it has the key to make everything possible,

"Or did it take
The setting of
The sun
To make you realise
That the here and
Now is where
It’s won".

Thank You for sharing another wonderful healing poem my dearest.

Love and much blessings to you 🌹🌹🌹
