John Lawless Poet Verse

Sunset Tableau

Sunset Tableau


She had been taken
suddenly, too soon
no tears, or sadness
all else just faded
in golden aura
signaling good-bye.


John G. Lawless

“One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!’
… ‘You know, when you’re feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful.”
