Feeling the Night

They are wilting now,
but a residue of a caring
that I often miss,
watering them with soft thought
tending them with dreams.

There is an easing of the heart
a letting go
from the unwanted constant in life,
where reaching out
brings only words and
knowing the touch of
begins to fade.

But there is satisfaction
in the calmness of,
retiring desires into memory,
the mirror lying once again.
I have been drugged with hope
leaving behind its effects,
more of life's wrinkles.

Changing once again,
this canvas brush-touched
too little, too late
cracking from withdrawal,
curled up in longing
beginning to peel.

Out of season, the unknown
still lingers behind that mirror
though the gold of yesterday
has turned to silver and
even that seems to be
wearing off now
bit by lonely bit.

Remarkable write! The melancholy is so well rendered.
