Earth watches the night light shine

As one with the day

She dons a derby
But nothing helps
They scatter all around
Those nasty demons
Inside her head
Making a hideous sound

Day is Done – #poetry #NaPoWriMo

Fire sizzles against waters, vast
A mere reflection of the past

Day goes by, again, returns
Still the fire, there, does burn

***

Sleep now, in the evening glow
This final resting place, you go

So sad we can’t forever stay
Why must it always be this way?

***

When time reminds us, day is done
And with the earth, we become one

Much like the fire that leaves the sky
We will, at last, need say goodbye

 

Author’s Note:  I wrote this poem with a heavy heart.  There has been so much sadness this past year or so, and still, it continues.  My heart goes out to all who lost loved ones… ❤

Never to Return – #poetry #freeverse

Seven days, I blinked

They disappeared

Like the mist of morn

In the cool of autumn

Time collapsed, elapsed

Why is it I missed it?

Was there something,

Something I needed to do?

Forgotten, buried deep

In the folds of my thoughts

Blanked out by the night

As I drift, awake

Falling, into the abyss

Perhaps, perchance

To find what it was

That lingered within

Then suddenly left

Never to return…

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2019, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this three years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day!  See you tomorrow  ❤
