December Dusk

by Jane E Pearce

All quiet

except for the fridge,

and pages turning

in my love's book.

 

The sun completes

a winter day's travel,

as I think of supper,

and what to cook.

 

Daily burdens

shadow the roses,

while lollipops beckon,

if we'd only look.

 

Listen to the turquoise hours

hidden upon the shelf,

singing of purple powers

secreted in yourself.

Eloquent, colorful, bright with hope!

This is a great poem. I get that same sort of feeling with each early sunset... Beautifully put.

Magical capture of emotions and images; nicely mixed together. Reminded me of some of my own December dusks. Thanks for that!
