About the Poem
Spending time alone watching an especially beautiful sunset, after years of having someone to share it with can be particularly hard. But if we focus on what we have, rather than what we have not, we will still see the beauty before us.
This Evening |
| by Prometheus |
| Quiet as untroubled waters another austere day gives way allowing a sun-tanned twilight to gently coax the night awake Once our special time together we watched for Hesparus in half-light of the genial summer's eve The harvest of time's scythe has sustained me and I no longer grieve Over the many lost evenings and things we shall never see for this special time of day God has given to us all even if the only one who enjoys it - is me |

An exquisite and fleeting moment in the day parallels the exquisite, bitter-sweet time in a life after the loss of love. The realization of a profound sentiment with words and the rythms of words is magical in itself.
