the day is dark

dusk arising



 

The day is dark,


curtains remain drawn.


Worry fills the place


where a light shone brightly.


Day grows long


as hope battles fear.

    A fine write dusk.
    It was a bit dark for me too - until I switched the light on! heehee.

    There is a lot of that battle about in these worrisome days my friend - a remedy for dark moods is to play your kind of music - so cool Mr D -and thanks for sharing it.

  • Saxon Crow

    Use a torch to find your way
    Open the curtains by the bay
    Let the worries fade away
    As light fills the room with the carefree day

    Dark days always come but they also go.
    A good sombre poem Dusk. Know that feeling well!

    Hope will always overcome fear as those hopes will become reality.

  • L. B. Mek

    dear, oh - so gifted poet
    Emily Dickinson lived and wrote in a time
    far removed from us, near 1850's
    and yet, she too - somewhat by choice
    lived her life, in a manner
    that your words, so succinctly describe:
    'The day is dark,
    curtains remain drawn.
    Worry fills the place
    where a light shone brightly.
    Day grows long
    as hope battles fear.'
    and yet, she managed
    to pen such a fitting reply to your poem
    nearly two hundreds years ago, and it reads:
    'Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
    Indicative that suns go down;
    The notice to the startled grass
    That darkness is about to pass.'
    ain't Poetry just an amazingly surreal realm, to experience?
    thank you, Dusk - simply Brilliant!
