The hum of evening thins away *

TripAdvisor

When sunset arches above the ‘feels big’ things,
 worn-down blunt edges touching the ground,
yet distant to make all equal, to converse
the keys and passwords to hue memory,
to fold and save in carved earthy womb
where petals in the flowerbed so satisfied of gifts
received, uncurled/nurtured by bugs so treasured
and guard the giving…

When sunset arches…
I feel the breath
Of night.

The life gets lethargic, drunk of itself, vanished
to be born again in dawn dress with roses bushes,
fast perky promises of longer days, pensive nights of
bittersweet tears and cues, missing words of love
required from others, but resisted to follow through
by us.

* Eugenio Montale "The Occasions" ~ used one of the poetry line

  2. Beautiful images. This is such a magical piece, it makes me miss those days of sunlight pouring over the roses and gardens......not too far away that dawn dress will light the away.

  6. When day comes to night things curled up to be arched again in the morning. In between lots of things come alive and moving. These provide the interesting times. Rightly so humbird!

  9. What a beautiful line to muse on...i love the contrasting images..soft and hard..bright and dark...maybe being human is dreaming about the bigger things whilst being content with the very special small things xo
