Quiet as untroubled waters another austere day gives way allowing a sun-tanned twilight to gently coax the night awake Once our special time together we watched for Hesparus in half-light of the genial summers eve The harvest of time's scythe has sustained me and I no longer grieve Over the many lost evenings and things we shall never see for this special time of day God has given to us all even if the only one who enjoys it - is me Thanks to Dark Angel for helping with the structuring of this effort...jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.

The harvest of time's scythe has sustained me and I no longer grieve Over the many lost evenings and things we shall never see for this special time of day God has given to us all even if the only one who enjoys it - is me --------------------------------------------- You sound a little sad like you lost something but found something just as beautiful on your search. I guess we have something in common, because I wasn't looking for it but I found your poem... "I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making u lose ur way. I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel." ~Touch and Go |

Simply beautiful . . . sigh . . . Lone Wolf Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |
