Mid-day finds a weakened heart feeling cast aside as amber hues collide in shadow's fall; proverbial rose glasses shatter upon parched once-verdant landscapes. No peace comes in the moment of discovery that all is not as it seems. Sunset is close, I fear. The setting moments may not be the ending of true love's endless dream.

a painful write with vivid imagery... i've come to find that true love doesn't die with the setting sun of hard times... it endures, as it surely will for you. Freedom Now |

Kacy, But alas the sun rises. Tears will cleanse the heart and if all else fails there is my hand of freindship. Peace.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

I love the image of amber hues colliding in falling shadows; however, I am particularly fond of the line: "No peace comes in the moment of discovery" [my life has been rather a series of 'epiphanies' with that feeling as the typical consequence] Applause!! |

Martin, thanks for reading. Moonkist, 'tis true. I intend for love to prevail. Kathy, thanks for spending a moment here. Larry, hugs to you. I'm ok, 'tis mostly just the 'poetry' of a frustrating afternoon. Bruce, you are so gentle and kind. Thank you, my dearest poet. |

You know - this is such a keeper. It draws me to read and reread - and savor each word as I feel the rose colored glasses dim. And, underlying that feeling, I know that they will shine again. Alison |

No peace comes in the moment of discovery that all is not as it seems. Frustration comes easy, I think, as we expect life to hold a bit more treasure for us as we age. M |

Thoughts gives sway to premonition not always of the heart's volition ~ I pause, and read the sadness there, sigh, and offer up a little prayer that evening found in somber hue give way to dawn more gloriously blue.  ~ Karen |

Thank you, dear poets! Sometimes, day of personal frustration generates a universal emotional moment worth putting to pen. |
