Turn the light out
when you leave;
the evening reaches out
to grieve the many souls
I've scattered
over time upon the wind,
and such a subtle task
is best performed in gentle light.

Is there such a gentle light? I've not found one yet - I may need to borrow yours, as it seems to work so well...

Thank you all for your comments. I don't always get back to respond to the comments on my poetry, but I really always do read them and I appreciate the time it takes to pause and write a reply to a posting.

I apologize for the shortcomings of my schedule (or chaotic string).

Thank you again. You all have made me feel very welcome here.

Ohhh...I have such regret over those souls that I have scattered...

Subtle light....yes I agree...best not to see so much sometimes...

Loved it!
