Notes About The Poem

MONOCHROME

MONOCHROME © Sara Etgen-Baker 2025

Sun slowly descends, and the world turns monochrome, like a black and white drawing on the Creator’s easel.  I patiently wait for night with its renewing spirit. Nightfall serves as a metaphorical curtain closure, while dawn symbolizes  a daily reopening, with the birds serenading harmoniously on cue.

dusk whispers, night falls,
shadows stretch across the sky—
day’s breath vanishes

dawn’s silent embrace
cradles the fragile and bold
a promise of hope
