Notes About The Poem

Sunset

sun falling slowly through veils of yellow, orange, reds
   slowly descending, the sun in twilight
     slowly careening toward the beach

     the tan on the beach just out of reach
    sands slipping through fingers of time
sifting the beachcomber’s untroubled mindset

then lapses of waves, washing, erasing the canvas
  over and over, a redo, a new generation
    troubles come and go; the dawn returns

    pinks, purples, blues embellish highs and lows
  tidings of the sea; setting of our brief lives
just you wait until heaven’s reveal

Jeanette Swan December 4, 2025 at 2:22 AM I like your 'lapses of waves' it has layers of meaning in the lapse mentally letting go, and and the lapping physically erasing. And again the pun for 'tidings' the news and the rhythms. And the last line is full of hope and joy - if this is creation - fallen, what beauty will be the new creation? Kim Rodrigues December 8, 2025 at 3:22 PM Thank you so much, Jeanette! I appreciate you!

Gershon Wolf November 25, 2025 at 8:42 PM 'Setting of our brief lives' hit me hard tonight. So brief. So short. Too fleeting... Kim Rodrigues November 26, 2025 at 5:58 AM Hugs, my friend.
