Like the falling twilight
love of life fades
and darkness becomes my companion
All within me near withers
Yet the circle of life –
of living
brings the promise of a new day
A reawakening to light
where happiness
and love
can be found once more
Such is the magic and beauty of life --
twilight and discovery … hand in hand

Thanks.

You reminded me of a false accusation . . .
One sunset night I was squinting my eyeballs.
The twilight shadows made the writ less clear.
I was trying (innocently) to read the sweatshirt print.
The words scrawled across her shirt-blouse blurred.
Maybe it was from brews and wild morel mushrooms.
Commenters are great Joy to read if editor no deletes.
love of life fades
and darkness becomes my companion
I really like this. In fact, it could stand on its own.
Of course the next lines change everything. And they're lovely.

Thinking of you from here ... with love ...
out of the doldrums.
the winter doldrums.
the withering of everything,
the stark trees screaming for light...
spring has sprung, and so must you.
come alive again.
twilight is a mysterious time. messes up yer mind.
sometimes in a good way, like for this poem.................
Its seems to be the way of life

Sheila: You know … today my face IS to the sun and I am beginning again. There is still that something below the surface but I am beginning again and trying to my darndest to move forward. Thank you … your lovely, wise words do speak to me.
Bellweather Vance: I’m glad you can see what I see! Big smile! : )
Marty’s Husband: Today IS a new day for me and I am starting all over again! Starting again OR laying down and dying … I choose life!
RomanticPoetess: Thank you, lovely, lovely lady! Best wishes.
hugs, me: It IS!!!!! My love and best wishes to you! : )

Brown Eyed Girl: Hello! Thanks for coming by … it’s lovely to meet you!
Art: Jan cracked me up too! I laughed out real loud when I read his note! Commenters are a great joy to read indeed! As are you, dear Art … although I am sorry to hear you were falsely accused … I hope all was forgiven in the end. Happy Easter, Art!
Shutterbug: Thank you. Happy, Happy Easter!
Michelle: You are very kind and dear. Much love and peace also to you!
I Love Life: I DID take that picture BUT let me assure you, if it is ANY good it is just a FLUKE! I am NOT a photographer! Sometimes I get lucky and take something that seems okay … at least in my eyes. And, P, I know what you mean about sunsets being sort of sad …. Many a time I have watched the sun go down … watching it till that last little glint disappears and there is a kind of mood slip at that moment … but the trick is in knowing that it will rise again tomorrow … and with the morrow there are possibilities! HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER, P!
Lea: Hi Lea! I will! Happy Easter!
Hilarad: Thank you so much. Happy Easter to you!
Margaret: Thank you. I know there is a significant shift in the poem following those lines but it’s how it is sometimes, right? One day we’re feeling so down … feeling so helpless …. lost … and the next we can see the possibilities … everything might not be perfect … but the possibilities are there and we can choose to move toward them.
Jlsalthre: Thank you! It’s lovely to see you here! Happy Easter!
eyespye: Oh my wonderful and dearly neglected friend! THANK YOU! I have neglected so many friends of late and I seem unable to put it right … so imagine my joy that so many of you do not give up on me … that you stay constant. Dare I think I am on the right side of my ‘malaise’?? Why not!!! HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER TO YOU TOO!!!
Stathi Stathi: What a lovely, lovely message! THANK YOU! Each of us has our gifts and to be totally honest I’m not sure that mine is poetry … I think it’s a little bit of poetry perhaps and I’m hoping it’s a whole lot of something else! Stathi (may I be so bold and abbreviate your name? I’m an Aussie you know and we do that … abbreviate people’s names … give them nicknames!) … Stathi, you have been here just a short while and already I have seen some of your gifts … beautiful photography … writing that crosses language barriers … but most of all … generosity, friendliness and kindness. It’s lovely getting to know you, Stathi. Happy Easter, new friend! : )
Seriously, we've all done that at times ... OS can be SO slow sometimes and we end up getting "trigger happy"!!! : )
M.C.S.: I believe it is the way of life, MCS. Life is quite often not an easy road to travel and sometimes we move forward easily; other times we need to pause and survey our surroundings, get our bearings, make sure we are on the right path before we can move forward; and, at other times we need to stop and retrace our steps, go back and start again. Any or all of these routes can take an enormous amount of strength and courage to travel but the thing is knowing that we CAN change direction if we find we have taken the wrong road. Godspeed, MCS.
But I worry a bit, I guess ...
Thank you....
and I'm glad today is good (is it still today there?...if not, I hope your current today is good again)
Mission: A bird to greet you on early in the morning sounds to me like a wonderful way to have started Easter Sunday! I hope it was just wonderful all day long! Happy Easter, Mission!
Jules: Thank you! Big smile! My current today IS good again! And Happy Easter again to you, Jules!
Cindy: Thank you so much, Cindy! Happy Easter! I hope it’s been a lovely family-filled day for you!
JD: Thank you. I just haven't been able to write a thing lately and this seemed fitting in more ways than one. Happy Easter, JD! : )
