First Attempt at a Shakesperean Sonnet
With every passing day, night looms again.
The Sun is slow to dip behind the line.
The view of the Sun setting, seldom when,
Watched through poet's eye, luckily, mine.
All do not have a view blissfully clear.
I know that everything will be fine
While the sun lingers until it will rear,
It's radiance. Thankfully, it won't stay.
Night surely coming, good bye horrid light.
Peace nearing, til seconds away at last.
The exit of the glimmering, gave sight.
Now the dreaded is cleverly surpassed,
Balance of perception has shifted yet,
All too often they have angrily met.
