Sunsets of Sadness
I remember the springtime of my first write
The butterfly contest when my words took flight
The friends that have come and gone
Leaving their poems to live on
There are sunsets of sadness
When the ink no longer flows
Starry skies will have no twinkle
When the muse no longer glows
But what of goodbyes if tears begin to fall
What of old friends lost between the lines
Found only when memories come to call
With metaphors abandoned on the sidelines
