Glimmers at Dusk's Edge
Written: March 1st, 2025, For Brian Strand Contest
*******************
In the heart of
a howling waterfront,
where waves weave whispers
to the waning night,
I wander through the wilderness,
seeking sequins of solace.
At the water edge,
moonlight swirls as a monsoon,
creating a serenade of ~
shimmering silver
and sultry shadows;
feelings fluctuate
and flicker as fetching foam
reflects the sea rigid rhythm. . .
I find fortitude in a fierce fire;
each wave of wind serves
as a reminder of resilience,
and nature pandemonium portrays
my inner strain but also
bestows tremendous tranquility. . .
The sun shatters shadows,
shimmering shafts slicing
through the gloom,
illuminating intricate itineraries
previously plagued by perplexity.
Majestic mountains maintain
their mighty magnanimity,
guardians of glorious tranquility,
while rivers relentlessly reshape
their routes with perpetual persistence.
Flourishing flowers thrive
in a silent saga of survival,
each petal a page
in nature narrative of renewal.
After the showers,
the sweet scent of soil
saturates my senses,
a signal that splendor survives
even in the shadow of despair. . .
Birds bestow blissful melodies
to the troubled soul,
their songs mingling
with moments of mirth
and mellowing.
In their soaring flight,
I spot splendid freedom—
a promise of panoramas
yet to be explored,
a sky splashed
with shimmering aspirations
that are beyond grasp
but not unattainable.
In forested embraces
where flickering shadows
flit and frolic with light,
green leaves gently gossip
of glorious growth;
every fallen fragment
serves a purpose as it
feeds raw life below. . .
Deeply anchored roots
hold me steadfastly,
despite the turbulent winds of life.
Silence sings serenely;
in stillness, subtle truths emerge.
The tug-of-war between
twilight and tenebrosity
teach moderation.
The highlights conceal harmony—
we embody both
boldness and fragility.
