Of Envelopes and Love-letters

 

Click on images to enlarge...

Into a big blue envelope

You tuck the remnant day

Hope is the color of dusk-eyes

Half-shutting Time away

We stand and stare out to that place

Where we can never be

Skylines are always far too far

Away from you and me

Farewells tug quiet-hard, the heart

Fumbles with failing spheres

Into dusk’s big blue envelope

The skyline disappears

And like a love-letter from God

Where black seals pink and gold

He places in our heart of hearts

A memory to hold

Dawn,

Noon,

Dusk,

Dawn-noon-dusk

Ah, seamless flight

That turns good-morning

To good-night
