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

my shadow seems too long

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...
