Sad At Twilight Hour Love's Paradise Can Be Lost, With Sunday Quote

Sunday quote, and new poem-

( “And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief” – William Cullen Bryant )


Sad At Twilight Hour Love's Paradise Can Be Lost, With Sunday Quote

Sad at twilight hour love's paradise can be lost
Same as horrid death delivered by ole Jack Frost
Wherein dies the beauty of rose and its great fame
And the bright garden that once set ones' soul aflame
Alas! But such reminds this truth-life is no game.

Sad at twilight hour love's paradise can be lost.
Life gives and it takes, oft at very heavy costs.

Thank you, my friend. To cast in ink such, is no easy task. Yet a poet must write or else the pain becomes too great.. God bless.

Thank you, my friend. The ink spilt helps takes away some of the massive volume of dark and painful cuts. For in the creating, both the injured mind and soul diverts to the task at hand and thus a moment of peace exists.
