Description

Order of the Day –

poem by Stanley N Solomons

Poem:

Order of the Day

DAWN

The new light softly streams,

Through the lace curtains,

And I try to mend my dreams

Till Im myself again.

NOON

I look into the sky,

Where cirrus clouds collide,

Laze in the summer light,

While the breeze talks to me.

EVENING

A time for rose-red thought,

Long shadows casting,

Memories fleeting,

Fading and fraught.

DUSK

Dusk is for grieving,

And for private tears.

Perhaps for believing

Despite what we fear.
