Between Sunset and Sunrise

Writer's picture: Steve CSteve C

Updated: May 21, 2024

If you cannot laugh,

lower your eyes

as this day dies--

crawl with the sun's light

out a window towards night.


The day delivers too much sun

to see this particular piece of earth,

produces so many sounds

the mind jumps onto dream-stage.


My eyes open

to a dark window and begin

to question the morning.

Clock tells me it's that time

to begin a day of trying to do

what has never been done so well before.


--Tim Van Ert

"Clock tells me it's that time

to begin a day of trying to do

what has never been done so well before."


Always striving to do better, Tim is your essence. I also liked your beginning:


"If you cannot laugh,

lower your eyes"
