Shades

sorenbarrett

Shadows fade into the past a cool breeze that doesn't last
Sprouted seeds grown to weeds fallen on dry ground recedes
Sun raises crawls and falls images of the past recalls
Days that were warm, those of storm, familiar landscape did transform

        I suppose in a way, life and death, natures way.
        Storm Goretti hits Britain today, we'll all be perishing weeds at the end of it.
        Is it sunny in Brazil by any chance.

            Excellent, my friend! I relate to how landscapes change while still feeling familiar. The past doesn’t disappear, it just rearranges itself. This captures that quiet disorientation well. Wonderful job on this! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

                    Loving the feel of this. Its spareness of structure and fullness of movement and imagery are a truly engaging contrast. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

                        Sometimes the Landscape is like People you haven't seen for a few years; you suddenly see how they've Changed when comparing Photographs. A fine Poem.

                            Indeed, when we look around us we see the transience of nature in plants, humans and animals. Everything goes in a cycle. Shadows fade; the breeze does not last; there is reproduction, new life; the old one fades away.
