As Evening Draws Near

A sailboat gently floats across a peaceful lake and suddenly the world befriends me once again Beyond all time the memory of our fishing trip still lingers on my mind; It lays softly upon the Huron lake, like a plethora of Petoskey stones, reminding me of the way the sun used to slant softly, across your misty green eyes; I sit here for endless hours seeking solace and as evening draws near, I see the stars begin to twinkle like tiny diamonds sprinkled across the water; Oh blessed moon of love and peace take me to his resting place, before I forget to remember the caricature of his handsome, loving face.

Hello Rose, "As Evening Draws Near" evokes a deep sense of nostalgia and longing, beautifully capturing the serene yet poignant memories of love and loss. It's a tender reminder of the enduring power of memory to connect us with someone we've lost, against the backdrop of nature's timeless beauty. Best wishes, Don

Dear Rose, your golden poetic pen has spilled a soft, soulful beauty upon the page. The wistful tone becomes yearning imagery that becomes a poignant plea in the final stanza. So very moving, my dear friend. Your emotive artistry shines. Warmest wishes, dear poetess.. ~Susan

a beautiful but poignant write, dear Rose. I loved the gentleness of your words and how you captured the memory of a lover or spouse who's passed. I felt twinges of sadness which tells me your poem was effective. I especially liked the last four lines. Your poetic voice and style are beautiful and one of a kind. Thanks for sharing, hugs, Sara
