Amid Dawn's Rise

beneath the glow
of sanguine skies
there's a shadow
by my side
standing
where you should be
as i watch the rise
unfolding this day

i linger
in the depths
of its hues
as i sip
on coffee
and thoughts
of you

If memories linger--might as well be under sanguine skies--beautifully sad, Sandy.

Hi Sandra, You created such a poignant scene with this well written write. I could just picture the whole scene. Certain things can trigger a memory, you expressed how it can happen very well. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Simply beautiful. How do you do this, time after time, reach out and touch my heart with your words. Though this seems a bit sad I will take it as a happy poem because it made me happy to read it. :)
