Midsummer - Dusk To Dawn

MIDSUMMER – DAWN TO DUSK Out the window Well past the stalking hours There is a stillness with whispered promise Through the trees a street light loses prominence The green Goliath still sleeps Old roses hang together bonded by dew And the new bravely greet dawn What in the noontime blaze comes singing left right above places Questioning origin of the Sun? All stirs together – wood flesh steel The fickle sky revealing then concealing A vapor trail at heavenly height Breathless relaxed by necessity one survives This the true hour of contemplation And at one point a glimpse beyond Sinking A natural consequence when fires burn low The pilgrim walks slowly steadily west Another question – What was that all about?

HOw interesting this one is, Daver. I'm glad I found it way back here. One I missed on that final page! All I had asked you in that email was which poem it was of that one guy's you had responded to (the one you told me you gave a bad time to) I looked and couldn't find it. Let me know in an email.

The story of our lives, Daver. In the end this pilgrim will surely be wondering "What was that all about?" Very creative and filled with amazing imagery, my friend. Am enjoying my vacation. Love, Carolyn
