He found himself standing on a bridge

Not quite sure of just how he got here

Something on the map must have changed

Perchance, its markings weren’t so clear

Shadows falling, as the sun begins to set

The azure sky, was fading, much to his dismay

Perhaps, he took a wrong turn somewhere

Or maybe he was meant to find this way

Trying to soak in the last of the warmth

Taking a deep breath, from up there, high

Thinking, for once, he’s on top of the world

He threw the map, over the edge, and sighed

 

December Writing Prompt – Had the map really changed, or had he read it wrong to begin with? – Day 4/31

Daylight does not last forever

It parts when its time is done

Hides behind the hills of heather

Bows to the slowly setting sun

Casts its final shadows deep

Against the dark of the night

Tis this time, she peacefully sleeps

Til morning dares to share her light

Sunset welcomes night

Blushing, in vivid colors

Rose, crimson and wine

An endless brilliance that shines

Against the ebb of the light

I wasn’t able to participate in Sue’s #writephoto – Glimmer – last week, but the picture was too beautiful to pass up.  Better late than never!  🙂


Tis but a glimmer

Of light that shines below me

Ah but the night calls

In a glowing masterpiece

Painted by the setting sun
