Forever In The Dusk Poem by Sandra Fowler

Forever In The Dusk

Rating: 5.0


Your face is left forever in the dusk,
A blue portrait that loved the northern light.
You often snapped your fingers at the wind,
And laughed to tell a snow was on the way.

Your courage burned like wildfires in your bones.
It kept you bright when all the world was cold.
The air was always vivid where you stood,
Your arms flung wide to catch the falling sun.

This compact and beautiful poem is a true tribute to your father - and to your own poetic sensiblility and perception - and to your love. An amazing and truly moving poem, an inspiration to all who quail before difficulties. The originality of the metaphors remove it from comparison.

'Your courage burned like wildfires in your bones' what an incredible gift of a daughter to a father to produce such a line as this for all who are at home with English to partake of such a verbal feast. That whole last stanza: WOW! You never cease to amaze, delight and educate my soul. Bill Grace
