Nightfall - a poem
Hi, I've been inspired by @JustinSane 's poetry thread and thought I'd share one of my old poems. I don't Think I've posted this before. If I have, apologies for the repetition. I hope it speaks to someone 🙂
Nightfall
Twilight sprays across the window
Clouds reflect on the dimming day
Lunar leaves litter a meadow
The infant night now begins play
Ancient lights shine on our faces
Stars long burst still fill the dark sky
Timeless points set in their places
Proof once for all: we do not die
-
My veins swell along with the seas
My blood flows strong, drawn by the moon
My heart beats faster as time slides
From the clock's grasp in a soft swoon
--
Rest is nigh, then comes a new dawn
May our dreams last beyond its break!
Love will rise as the sun is born
With renewed hope for all Life's sake
StuF

Re: Nightfall - a poem
@StuF That's kind of mind-blowing when you think about it. If someone was 1000 lightyears away looking through a telescope at the earth, I would be alive in what they are viewing but I would have been long dead here..
What an interesting poem.

Re: Nightfall - a poem
Yeah, @AussieRecharger
Our minds (well certainly mine at least) can't do justice to the comprehension of the vastness of time and space...
Glad you found it interesting 🙂
