Dawn
Go gentle into the night
Through the magical realm of twilight
On the lap of the scented breeze
And the evening warmth
Over distant meadows and other shores
Bracing the inky darkness
Further and further away
Into murky scapes of past
A fallen angel no more
And how I long for that blessed feel
Lost on me forever
But for the pale shadows
Of fond memories…
Posted for One Single Impression.

So beautiful. How poetry is meant to be.

You have such a gift for poetry and an elegant writing forte. I’m honored and humbled for having you acknowledge my meager attempts at putting my thoughts into words.
This “Dawn” has similarities to rebirth and remembering things from the past. The best thing is the transition from evil to good. Great work!!!

I know those memories. I know that Dylan Thomas admonition. And the peace of dawn.
Thanks for this.

Very nice, D.L. But also a little sad in that this seems to be a one time occurance (“treasure the memories”).

A lovely flow – dawn smooth.

So beautiful, so profound…I love this one. Somehow it gives me a feeling of nostalgia, though I don’t think it intends to do that.
It is always a delight finding a new piece on your site. You have a way with words, a way with putting so much feeling and truth in your words. Keep writing!

Beautiful…I can really connect with your powerful words and images.

Beautiful poem!
Memories taking us into the stretches of warm pastures, covered with shadowy pasts… very mystical, haunting, yet a fact!!
Keep sharing …

August 16, 2010 at 8:03 am
I have been missing from Blogland for quite a while too – so nice to come back and read your work. I think if you can describe that “gentle night,” you surely are still connected. Beautiful.

kaha hai ??
September 10, 2010 at 2:27 am
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Please send your OSI piece to me by Sat a.m., and I will post it.

Eloquent with a soft, reflective tone etched within the lines. This is reminiscent of the classic poets, something I feel is a lost art today. You have resurrected the voice. The ending is a lovely finale, tying the whole piece together nicely.
