A Brief Pause On Earth Poem by Smoky Hoss

A Brief Pause On Earth

Rating: 5.0


The sun sets
In reflected glances,
The wind purr's
In delicate dances-
The stars align
Causing a brief pause in time,
Rendering a bright light
To move and shine-

Here, he dreamed
His little dream,
Never self-knowing for certain
Then, what it did mean-
For far too soon
The-End came and caught him,
Taking him back
To where angels fly
Dance and sing-
His light briefly upon earth
So brightly shone,
Where even time paused, just to gaze...
As by us all he flew, on his way Home-

No, he's not dead...
Just gone on singing,
Far, far ahead.


(see ya on the other side Townes.)

Now this is poetry Smoky. I enjoy reading this one a lot. You certainly demonstrate the power and the depth inside that poet heart of yours with this beauty. I must get over here far more often.... You are on my favorites list for sure. Jim Troy

The last three lines make a fine short poem just by themselves! - I like the ideas you are sharing with us here.

Who knows for sure-perhaps this is just a stopover.You handled a delicate subject with grace and dignity
