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.
This has stretched my heart in a positive way.Thankyou so much for such amazing pictures of mind.Love Duncan
sandra, this is so original: Autumn painted their flight on windowpanes love this poem very much.
This poem touched my heart and fed my sense of beauty. Best Wishes, Mary
‘there is a certain fineness in consent.’ that stood out for me. i think it's because i wish i had written it. haha. great line! there is a definite freshness in your poetry. avec juvenile wisdom. makes it a bit sublime. care, Sus.
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......
I believe you are one of the most gifted poets here Sandra, and this poem presents that in no question. The beauty resonated here within these few lines leave a lasting impression of one who extends far beyond the norm. You are brilliant and I'm honored to read your poetry. Thankyou so much for such an incredible experience. Melvina
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
