Evening Shadows Poem by Barry Middleton

Evening Shadows

Rating: 5.0


long shadows reach toward the east
fleeing the fire of the sunset

this is the time of day I now adore
the comfort of darkness falls

soon my world becomes a shadow
as it turns its back to the sun

and when the darkness blankets all
then I will sleep again

till I awake to an ember in the east
or to sparks arising from the pyre

Poignant write. Death is a terrible reality of man's life. It's bravery to embrace n accept this reality. A sad but beautiful poem. A 10.
