Lights going out in the morn Are stars that never die. They gather strength again to shine Even brighter in the night.
This sequel of the day and night Leaves twilight out of play. When twilight falls we all just sigh: Soon night will throw its veil.
The twilight seems of no import, It’s life still waiting to unfold, It’s neither start nor end, it’s road, On what’s in store we have no hold.
It’s transient path of curves and stones Obstructing view of what’s beyond. Be what it may we still go on With load of life companion sole.
This twilight song of woe, begone, A trodden path of life's still visible to all!

About this poem:
Carrying on with life at whichever age. What's important is living a life, the freshness of air we breathe while still alive... Just the oldie one I decided to revive before it vanishes for good.
marikia, these twilight lines shine whether, starred, lights, or by a setting sun. the analogies are many here and i've enjoyed reading it! thank you. ;-)
Many thanks, dear poets, for dragging this one out to light. No matter what happens, whatever may happen, life goes on and will go on when we are gone, life is a never ending road and so precious, we better take care of ourselves and each other, be considerate and kind, so that we are well remembered.
