Touch Me - Dusk

warmth
 
fading
 
at sunset
 
cooler breezes
 
evoke slight goose bumps
 
or perhaps they are caused
 
by the spectral reflection
 
of sky colors kissing the sea
 
overwhelmed by many sensations
 
dusk evolves slowly in the April sky
 
I shiver, knowing Holy Saturday
 
pulls curtains of anguish to a close
 
remaining awake to see dawn
 
tapping Resurrection’s hope
 
wrapping my weary heart
 
sensing salvation
 
as Christ rises
 
Easter morn
 
love brings
 
joy

A great poem for Nette's contest. She sees many gorgeous sunsets in the Philippines; this will certainly stir her passion for them even more. I am inspired by resurrection's hope...An Easter sky where the colors kiss and evoke goosebumps..nice poem for this a.m. :) Gwendolen

Wow Carolyn - subtle use of natures reference point to bring home divine thought. Thanks for commenting on my work,' I am bored with Poetrysoup'. Idea is to provoke positive thoughts for strengthening Poetrysoup. I believe in expression, hurting anyone is not the intention. I have got too much luv & support from few Premium Members. Luv & best wishes always.Thnx for supporting my views - Hitendra Mehta

what a wonderful way to combine Easter with the contest, CArolyn. This one is sure to do well. And certainly fits the theme of touch/touched by CHrist's love!

You must be so lucky living where you can see the sunset's reflection on the sea... i miss that, but it is in my distant plans to settle around the Indian Ocean or Lake Victoria. thinking of those beautiful sunsets in the far future gives me goosebumps already... exactly that moment when the sun kisses the ocean, its pure magic! >thanks for fueling my desire for that future Carol... the sunset imagery has really done it for me... i hope Nette feels it too.
