For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Light and Dark ~ "Not The Last"

-


It is always the same day and night
darkness prevails before the light
Nature loves us in all colors
gives us perpetual favors
we count the days
we say it is the last
sometimes shortest
sometimes longest
as
each moment becomes the past
boundless open and vast
Blessings abound slow and fast
majestic evening descends
as I too watch through


the living room window
beauty merges and emerges
it is not the last but just a cover
as the year end crosses over
colors, lights, birds and leaves
quietly doze off to sleep
 evening  time Nature's enrapture
as I click my camera,  to capture...

Dear Jae Thank you as I was reading the comments I realized the connotations of 'rest room'.It is an example of 'language usage but it does create a little humor-actually the place is a small lounge/living area cum study and the door opens on the terrace Nature abounds in beauty in all seasons.

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
