Winter Sunset

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



winter sunset -
another day closer
to the end


winter sunset -
we talk about all
the friends gone



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


This is a sort of shasei. Many friends have passed away lately or are gravely ill.
Watching the splendid sunset fade into the cold, these kinds of thoughts came to mind naturally ..

    winter sunset:
    somewhere
    eyelids are closing for good

    turning on a lamp,
    the winter sunset goes on
    glowing in the room...

    Gabi,
    Some days the day ends when darkness falls, and some days I turn on a lamp.

    But I know how you feel...

    winter sunset-
    the warmth
    of remembered friends

    winter sunset-
    the treasure
    of memories

    Hi Gabi, hi Larry-indeed, as life goes on these sad losses add up. But then, I always remain grateful for (knowing) those lost.
    I hope this adds a happy spin, to a sad subject.
    Cheers, Michele

    winter sunset..
    behind me
    darkness

    frozen moments..
    dreams of tonight
    soon melt into dawn

    You are most welcome GABI, thank you!

    ...bitter
    chills thaw into
    spring perfume setting warm
    summer stage for autumn's colors
    warming our souls for another winter's
    journey...
