Have You Ever ... ? ~*Marge Tindal*~ Have you ever watched a sunset cry, dripping tears across a twilight sky ? Caught in prisms of lavender light, just before she says goodnight. A mist, so light, that drifts into the night to fall as morning dew. To softly dance across the lawn, toweled again upon the dawn. Oh, I have seen a sunset cry, laying her sorrow across a night sky. Felt the dew so heavy-laden, awaiting return of morning maiden. Where upon a tear-kissed flower, sunbeams danced within dew-shower. Warmed the gentle lily's bed, lifting hearts to smile instead. Next time you watch a sunset, squint with all your might, that you may catch her teardrops, before the morn takes light. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ *Just a little repost from about 5 years ago* ~Because ... sometimes the sunset cries my tears and I eagerly await the new dawning~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Marge, What a gifting you have given! Your words speak the color of the sunset. Elegant, Marge! Have you ever watched a sunset cry, dripping tears across a twilight sky ? Caught in prisms of lavender light, just before she says goodnight." I think I have seen those dripping tears of sunset's cry. You can bet I'll be watching the horizon from now on. Maybe with a tissue in hand! That stanza alone lends itself to much reflection! miscee [This message has been edited by miscellanea (04-23-2005 12:32 AM).] |

Shed softly the tears of the ending day… this is a beautiful write! You captured the magic at sunset so very well. Ohhhh, may I add… The picture that you posted with this poem, it reminded me of when I was little and we played the game, “What do the clouds look like?” Maybe it was because I read your words, seeing the sunset as a “she” and the “morning maiden” in my mind, but when I scrolled back up and glanced at the clouds, the lower cloud that encompasses the bottom of the picture – it struck me that it resembles a lady stretched out. The two arms out in front are to the right of the picture, then going from right to left – her head and body. Most likely people will say, “I don’t see that..” But I could not resist adding this in as if it touches on the magic of your poem! Enchanting write! |
