Day and Night

Author: Unknown

As the sun rises ... so does the soul
gracefully floating ever higher
free of the tethers
that hinder its flight.
As the sun sets ... so does the soul
Ever fearful ... lost in the darkness
for what seems an eternity.
Eventually the sun will rise once more...
bringing its energizing rays
soothing the spirit...
preparing for days of overcast skies
building strength and courage
to face the darkest night.
And with every day the sun does rise
it will be brighter.... warmer ... higher in the sky
the days ... longer
the nights ... more peaceful ...

About this poem:

Inner strength and peace is derived from facing and conquering our challenges ... Our challenges are the dark forces (night) that test our resolve ... our resilience (day) gives us the ability to overcome our "nights" making each subsequent challenge less traumatic to our existence

I have a different view of how inner peace is derived.But i guess i like your angle as stated in the footnote

I guess I should have thought a bit more about the Inner _Peace stuff Poetnumber1 ... my footnote only touches part of what I too believe is necessary to achieve peace within the soul ... thanks for bringing it to my attention ... cheers pal
