sands fell slow

dusk arising

 

 

 


in the shade
of life's willow
late in their days
they lay as one
to the music
of promise
whilst sands fell slow
across the seeds of time

      Yes, a new love found for two people of advanced years is what i tried to depict here.

            It's the colours of life, all the richer for the later years.

            Sounds like it's about 2 lifelong soul mates late in their years who've excepted their lives are coming to a close. Just as the faced life together,they face death together Not sure if I'm right or not,but that's what I see in your words here.

              What I had in mind here was.... two older people find love..... love is always the bringer of music into our lives and love also brings the chance of future happiness...... time takes on a new pace for these older lovers in their late years ..... older folk are cognisent of the fact that many have died much younger than their age..... the sands of time fall slowly and each moment is now of such importance and savoured.

                There's a sadness to this poem, like the final record playing at the end of life. Also, nice in a way, we all want to go that way.

                Such a sweetly poignant brevity! so beautifully touching, deep emotion expressed in so few words...

              • Fay Slimm.

                Late in the day age-wise brings its own music of promise and you spelled it out so very well here in these few gentle lines my dear friend.
