The Evening Light

by Howler

Published February 13, 2010

Not a single thing on the earth
Can compare to the evening light,
Showing us, in the dark, our worth,
Which is clouded within the night.
It tells us to rest in our fight,
And relax in the world wide shade.
It tells us there’s an end in sight
To the slash of each silver blade.
It tells us our heads should be layed
And there’ll be peace in the final hour.
It tells us there’s fairness in each trade
And beauty in each flower.
So we go to rest every time
Knowing our life is truly sublime

Hi! I liked this, it was a nice little read. Here's my review, my corrections in reddish pink:

It tells us there’s fairness in each trade
And * beauty in each flower.

Well, I thought this was rather good! :smt001 I can't find anything wrong with it, but I would split the lines, especially:

Showing us, in the dark, our worth,

I would split this line in three at each comma so there's more flow going on. :smt001

Besides that, I've never heard of the word sublime! Hmm, I should look it up... PM me if you need anything
