Prelude To The Night

It was dusk then
In this lifetime of mine

I was asleep, and I woke up, and there was
No one in sight —Not anymore

It is the dusk of our lifetimes. We will sleep and not wake up, nobody, not even us, will be there. Nevermore

The photo is a rhapsody in blue and the poem suggests absence of a loved one. Subtle and suggestive.

There are only 24 words in this poem but it creates an impact that does not depend on elaboration or interpretation by the poet. The situation is so elemental as the individual confronts his essential aloneness in the world with night providing the eerie stillness as a backdrop for the awakened sleeper's vulneriblity. Will he dive back into the oblivion of sleep, or wrestle all night with this startling awareness? My guess is that sleep is over and deep thinking will last until daylight.

''deep thinking will last until daylight'' 'Prelude To The Night' is indeed a metaphor for ''death approaching''. It is not death, yet.. but it is close..
