As the sun sets
All seems dark
And I wonder
When the light will come

As the sun sets
and the day ends
We forget to look for the stars
Only noticing the quiet

As the sun sets
The moon rises
Not yet tomorrow
Not yet today

Our worries and troubles
No longer linger
As we lay down our heads
Dreams seem sweeter

If we see the stars
and not the darkness

If we welcome the moon
and not mourn the sun.

© Amanda T., Scituate, MA

I wrote this a a metaphor. We seem to only see thing in a negative light, this is about realizing that negativity is a chose.
