This is my last of incarnations
my last chance of soul salvation
this is the reason that I came
that I might be, forever changed
I do not care what I might lose
like watching colors fade from bruise
and yes the cost is dear to pay
the pain to watch another day...fade...

simple reasoning is lost
balance of the scales of cost
I see things a different way--
I live to love another day.
and heat of me will melt the frost
and fertilize the breed of moss.
All that I am, I give away,
to gain to watch another day...fade...

In this twilight in my mind
the peace of darkness hard to find
I search for word I long to say
watching laughter dance and play...
The clock is ticking on the wall-
the sun comes up--grows shadow tall.
In this rhythm, rock and sway...
I weep. I moan. And then I pray-

amazed....I birth, another day
dismay...with set of sun....I fade...

k,

you and words do dance and play
having fertile things to say
good to find you here today
giving reason now to stay

the eye in the sky
watching with sigh’s
and your butterfly’s
of passion cry’s
absorbed in smile
because every once in a while
a star will twinkle
like wink with a wrinkle
so take breath and sigh
it’s the wrinkle of your wink
in the corner of your eye
i think
or is that just pink eye
no…
it must be the sun reflecting in your butterfly’s

Wow! This one really gets to me.

first of all huge hug because from those words it seems appropriate. now this is a 100% irish hug famed for bringing a smile to faces. This poem seems to run deep i hope i am wrong. powerful writing. Take care.

I love your writing  especially lately...*s...Serenity, it was a coincidence that I wrote and posted Another Night's Fade...I hadn't even seen your poem or title..but was working on a dark poem for my *friend*...I apologize if it seems I have taken part of your title...huggss
