A Quiet Night Poem by Soran M. H

A Quiet Night

Rating: ★5.0


far away from the lights.
A little dream has crossed.
It is evening –
The sun has seen
feebleness
in the river
like an old man
whom death has made hunched
or like a friend who
after being distant
shyly
confesses guilt
wants reconciliation.
It is late
for writing the history
of that sun
which rose in the morning
between the trees
smiling to greet you
then set early –
you didn’t know
you wouldn’t see it again.
Most of the small things
are forgotten
but not those far horizons
and the not knowing
what was beyond.

Quiet night brings memories of old friends but with time relationship changes. Sun reminds us to take life in a happy stride as it rises and fades away. Very nice contemplative poem.

Thnaks Rose, Language offers endless versatility and artistry; just as famous painters have admirers who long to own their canvases, I rejoice in reading a fine poem—feeling as though I had written it myself.

Liked how the poem was crafted which relied on vivid personification to bridge the natural world with human emotion. Brilliant!

Revisiting this deeply evocative poem embedded with striking imagery . It vividly paints the sudden transition from life's vibrant dawn to heavy, reflective silence of its twilight.

The depthness of Soran's poems is always there despite repeated readings. There is always mystery embedded in every word he had woven.
