Notes About The Poem

- Afterglow -

    In the haze of the evening sun
    Let the wind dry your tears
    Neptune fork, used wisely on the rough waves
    Everything we fear and everything we hope for
    - truce to God
    At some point the darkness must yield to the light

    The golden edge of the porcelain plates
    human ignorance - totally worthless
    However, the bliss of ignorance is an illusion
    Hindsight blushing in the afterglow
    illuminated by a light purple hue
    A serene sense of peace

Duke Beaufort April 13, 2025 at 7:17 AM Anne-Lise, a lot to think about...human thought and what we don't really know or control. The beginning sets the tone as we can use what's given to us to try to have a life with some value. Hopefully, we are lucky enough. I feel lucky to have made it this far!!! Smiles!!!

Valsa George April 6, 2025 at 5:26 AM Beautifully written. There is hope that even in mistakes, we get hindsight as an afterglow. All the best dear Anne. Hugs!

Joseph P. DiMino April 4, 2025 at 6:19 PM Somehow it all works out, for the best usually. I learned by trial and big-blunder...but I would have learned far less had I not been foolishly daring. Profound write.
