Notes About The Poem

SILENT WITNESS

SILENT WITNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the sun, a molten coin, descends, and he, a shadow lengthening, holds his breath. he feels the earth turn, a slow, relentless dance, and wonders of his place within the spin. the sky bleeds crimson, then bruised purple, and he, suspended between light and dark, is neither here nor there, but simply is, a silent witness to the fading day.

Dear Sara, Unveiled truth of what the eyes have seen. A lovely blend of shades, a dance of motion, the ebb and flow of transition, yet a quiet pause in the midst of it all. Delighted by the sight where the sky burns bright red side by side with cracked purple hues.
