TWILIGHT

Michael Edwards

 

 

TWILIGHT

 

 

Wiser now

I watch

as laughter’s glow

begins to wane

and shadows

fall

supressing rays

of

fading love.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I was inspired to write this shorty by Cat who wrote a lovely piece called Pieces of Pisces - written as a homage to her work - hope you don't mind Cat. As for the Antirrhinum - they self seed and are always welcome.

    Quite a depth to this moving write Michael - - and to counterbalance the poignant mood such a glorious shade of apricot-pink on that lovely self-seed.

          Michael,
          What a beautiful Antirrhinum!
          Love the colors that nature used to paint it. Super!

          I’m so happy that you tell us the botanical names of the flowers you post! I would have to spent a lot of time researching the ones whose name I don’t know...such as this one!

          Sadly, the poem reminds me of my parents...one is gone and the other slowly going! Such is life!
          The bright side...
          I’m grateful she is living a long life!

          ~Laura~

            Also known as Snap Dragon - even the happiest of memories can be touched by sadness - thanks Laura.

            Thanks MIKE ~ as we both know ~ noting in this life is permanent and everything fades and dies and is forgotten like the rest ! Even the BEAUTIFUL and LOVELY like the Snap Dragon and of course Princess Diana 20 years ago as we have been reminded recently ! I'm a similar age to William & Harry so I am empathetic with them and for them ~ Yours BRIAN
