Redemption Poem by Sandra Fowler

Redemption

Rating: 4.8


The old man and his dog hunted sunset.
Autumn painted their flight on windowpanes.
Gilt edged the paling outline of their forms.
Peach rimmed the cold hill with the light's good-bye.

There is a certain fineness in consent.
Fall took them and they never once looked back.
I think it must be better farther on.
I picture their redemption in the clouds.

I think darkness serves a purpose to show us that there is redemption through chaos and I guess that's the basis of Greek Methology. One should seek to forget and the essence of redemption lies in remembrances......

This is exquisite Sandra. The radiant colors that hold the last glimpse of your old man and his dog and the clouds that express their redemption. Robert expresses it perfectly as 'transcendent memory'. 'There is a certain fineness in consent.' is beautiful, whether read as the fineness of a nib or the fineness of a precious work of art. Another immaculate penning from your gifted nib. love, Allie
