The Evening Dies

Dusk
birds chirping before sleep
the sun has run away
stealing all that I love
the clouds 
float past
they have stories too
that all become faded memories
incompetent fools

I wish I were a painter
this image I have expressed
would take me forever
then I could freeze time
and live in Iceland
where shadows live forever

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/22/2024 7:07:00 AM Arthur, you have a phenomenal poem here that expresses pain that penetrates one's soul. Freezing time in Iceland was a remarkable image that will stay in my mind for a long time. I want to thank you for sharing these feelings since it helps me to know how to think about my own sense of loss. You are a sharing and loving soul, and I wish I could send you more sunshine.
