Jolted By Twilight

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                                                    
Placid and limitless, I’ve glimpsed into the frontier in tranquil rapture
Moon aligns sans sun’s bright face

Jolted by twilight…
I coast along a sea of stars juddered wildly
Waves spanning the sky avec abandon 
Embraced by star-strewn externals
I leave behind a familiar harbor 
Anchored are my temporal remnants down in the terrestrial realm 
My spirit soaring, a mirthful lodger I be,
swimming in twilight’s radiance 
Its celestial smile shall be the death of me...

embracing star-strewn 
crowned external forevers~
we soar the tides dance

Ty, for all of your wonderful reviews, hope I can do the same for you my poet freind:)

Victor Buhagiar Date: 11/11/2024 3:19:00 AM How can I describe your poem? Just beautiful is almost an insult. This is beyond excellent. I loved it. Hugs. Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 11/11/2024 8:31:00 AM Ty, Victor! XO

Silent One Date: 11/9/2024 10:47:00 AM Your poem’s celestial imagery of the moon, sun, stars, and twilight creates a powerful sense of the vastness and beauty of the cosmos. The “silvery moon” stealing light from the “golden sun” represents a momentary eclipse, a transition from day to night that symbolizes movement from the familiar to the unknown. The eclipse metaphor serves as both a literal image and a metaphor for a deeper journey into one’s own interior world, where earthly concerns are momentarily eclipsed by asense of cosmic connection.

I Am Anaya Date: 11/8/2024 5:01:00 PM A fairly recent photo of myself I put it through a filter called "cut out" the other day, makes it look like an album cover, but hey hippy is good.
