Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Hummingbird Fades In Raven's Wingless Memories

the flutter of little wings
pulsating in a windless dusk
as i watch the setting sun
glissade across the florid sky
its cerise glow reflecting prismatic
burst of colors on this little bird
as it sips the last of nectar
before darkness arises

my thoughts drifting
into night's allure
as the full moon rises
above tangerine tipped trees
the last fades of day
flushed against obsidian skies
my memories linger autumn-like
falling like the mist of night
my thoughts weigh heavy in this air
i struggle to breathe within remembrance
of your wingless flight that august night
i lose myself within the expansion of time
as day fades off like life in the raven of night

Gershon Wolf August 8, 2019 at 9:38 AM I feel incapable of intelligent comment as the skill you display in weaving these tapestries is far beyond my ken. I simply gaze in admiration. Wonderful.
