    Sustenance

With evening
things return
that the dawn
and the day
have scattered …
memories
that haunt us,
nebulous fears
  lurking
just beyond our
event horizon,
a thousand
insecurities
born of loneliness
  and fatigue …
yet like the wilderness
your very existence,
presence, and love
are my sustenance
through all of the
  darkness.

                --- b. e. adams (7/2/2013)

[an example of what one of my MANY 'critics'
  referred to as my typical "pseudo-sentimental
  syrup-dipped tripe"]

I like the idea that the evening can gather together in one readable and understanding way all that the day has tossed willy-nilly, without form or substance.

Bruce - I've come to know that people who cannot write or appreciate poetry simply do not have any love in their souls or wisdom come to think of it.  They give credence to the idea of reptilians in our midst - and I only believe in them because I once saw my ex "shape-shift". Only once mind you but it was enough.  Still, he probably isn't consciously aware of it but for some reason or other I had to know it.  

Lovely poem!  Ignore your critic!
