a trilogy

.

a trilogy

sunrise
teasing shadows
out of the ground

noontime
morning shadows
burnt to a crisp

sunset
nudging afternoon shadows
into the ground

.

 

I felt you leave

.

oh love,
I felt you leave
felt your life slip away
taking with it
ll the love in your eyes
and yet
there you are
every night
smiling at me —
your spirit dancing
with all the shining stars

.
