DID WE NOT ?

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Did we not
Begin as angels
Bathed in innocence
And light
As we grew 
We lost the shine
With passing day
Arrives the night.

From the room
Now in silence
Where once
Our voices heard
In the flicker
Of glancing moonlight
Upon the sweetness
Of each word.

Now I search
For distant echo
Within the blink
Of a closing eye
At midnight
Footsteps traced
In solitude
By you and I.

    Good write N.
    Did we not see a bus? Yes? No?! lol.

    This seems a poem of separation by the ending. A sense of sadness is conveyed by it. Well written

    Oh, looking back now and see how this applies quite correspondingly! A triumph, Norman 🕊️🙏

    Norman, this really moved me. There is such tenderness woven through these lines...a quiet ache for what once was and what remains only in memory. The whole poem feels like walking through a house after everyone has gone home. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    Those footsteps will always lead us to our way ahead Norman.
