Donna Jones Poet Free verse

Between Two Shades of Night

Memories linger
Repeated..
Between two shades of night..

Another day gone, sunset dark
Years ago - hours ago
   the same
      ...two shades of night

A new day, sunlight
Another smile
One more mile
Left again to fight
Between two shades of night

Donna Jones, for granny gran....my mother in law...so sick...and also suffers 
                          with moderate Alzheimer's .......God bless all who do....

Debbie Guzzi June 30, 2014 at 2:56 PM I liked to think if I didn't remember it, it couldn't be too important & laugh at myself until one time, I actually at dusk [I see worse at dusk] got all turned around and didn't know which direction was home! PETRIFYING! [Have GPS NOW!] BIG BIG hugs so hard! Light & Love

Justin Bordner May 6, 2014 at 1:19 PM A very smart and nerve touching metaphor Donna, " Between two shades of night..." it really takes me to an intimidating depth of vulnerability.
