For Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Reunions ~ Returns ~ A Union Has A Reunion ~

-


           

               
In  Life 

 a lost slipper found under the bed
forming the pair, comfortably walking away

 elderly man and wife leaving for heaven
minutes apart

 birds excited choral twittering
filling the foliage,clutching holding on
to twigs, soon silent reunited till dawn
like
every sunset at the horizon, behind the range
every raindrop's  joyful merging in the ocean
every fruit ripened bursting, fallen
every dinner floor cloth, table abuzz
engulfed in giggling aromas whispers
receding into serene nightly quietude

 a darkened descent into an unseen dream

 'in the beginning is the end'

This image sets the lonely tone, all spirals on while winding down, down . . . but maybe some reunions will rejuvenate after all while others are sweet cream into the sunset. What a lovely poem!

Thank you Dr Susan, though I feel could have written better...reunions are short lived...leaving happy memories but more sorrow as well..I guess all moments have their special emotional treasures and places in memories..you are right..some reunions stay for long sweet years, and some...

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...
