Every day goes by swiftly. The toils and stress of the day soon wear us out.
Then the night came for us to relax and enjoy its coolness and silence. Isn't that not what day and night was created for?
It will not be an easy journey but neither will be daunted. We will face each day and consider it a blessing - be it good or bad and surely the sonrise (loved this word, smiles) will greet us in the 'morrow!
Great write and so simply fun to read about life in a day.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

What a nice tanka. The message of peace and rest that leads to the Sonrise is a good play on words to make a thought-provoking and profound message. Good choice of artwork to enhance your message.

Nice pivot line:Rest 'til the 'morrow noting the transition for evening to sunrise. You moved from nature to human religious person-Sonrise. Quite clever.

Comment from GE Parson
Good advise Some one once told me, when I was a salesman, not to take my work home with me. I thought of that advice when I read your poem; Don't take today's toil into tomorrow. Rest your mind, body and emotions, and start fresh tomorrow.
Easier said than done
Your Friend.....Jerry

"Faith's path to tread undaunted" - Absolutely a wonderfully inspiring piece. The reader is both elevated and inspired by the serenity of the imagery expressed in each line. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Comment from Gungalo
Today's toil long past
Night(')s soft gentle darkness falls
Rest 'til the 'morrow
Greet Warmth of joyful Sonrise
Faith's path to tread undaunted
Wonderful Carolyn. I can see were the path of faith leads you to go ... undaunted. Sigh.

Comment from Sagnik Das
Now this one, Carolyn, has got a "Metaphysical" ring to it - just the kind you normally associate with such avid Classicists as Donne or even, Phillip Sydney.( Please do refer to Donne's immortal work, " The good Morrow ", for better clarification in this regard, if you will ... ).
Nevertheless, what a profound reverberation of Pantheism your verse conjures ! For the employment of so few words, you manage to paint a stunning picture in my mind - that of a weary traveler, in search of blissful repose .....
Indeed, the metaphorical employment of descriptive eloquence, in conjuring such a splendid repository to "Epicurean Idealism" ( if I am not wrong ) - & that too, in just five trivial lines, is in itself a triumphant feat to achieve, for any writer on earth - & you , Carolyn have invariably done it .... & that too, in such grand style ; to great narrative effect.
Wonderful , Madam ; this is Discernible Divinity !! LOL.

You are too good to me! Thank you for your most eloquent words for my humble Tanka. It stretched the 5-7-5 which I have tried a few times. I will look up the work of Donne. I am so glad you liked it Sagnik, :-) Carolyn

Beloved friend,
You know you're always more than welcome ! I am overwhelmed to avail such courteous replies from you.
CAROLYN, TO SPEAK FRANKLY, YOU SEEM A DIRECT "INCARNATION" OF SOME 19TH CENTURY POETESS !!! ( & now, watch me grow 'red' in coyness now, for deposing so ... ! ).
:)

Ah ! hell ! - in my joyous impulsiveness, I typed the word "now" twice !!
Pardon me :)
