End of the Day


Back Story: Just as the poem describes. I was doing some computer work last fall (2025) and completed my work.
I left the building in the evening, just after it had rained. Something just stopped me.
The view and feeling caused me to stop.
I started composing the poem then with statements I wanted to capture the experience.
It took a little re-write and polishing but, here it is.

End of the Day

The work day is done
You step into the dark fall night
The evening rain left the air full and fresh
The quiet stillness broken only by the drops falling through the trees
The faint light from a street lamp glistens off the fallen leaves
It's beautiful
Everything is right in God's world
