Like A Distant City Poem by Barry Middleton

Like A Distant City



when the sun finally faded
I lit a candle

I had been a watcher
in the last light of day

the cloudless blue sky
turned white in an instant

like the turning of youth
into silver wisdom

there were no clouds
only a pastel afterglow

like a distant city
coming into view at dusk

and I lit a candle
to claim a piece of a star

and then I poured the wine
a toast to pale eternity
