retreat by Richard Trotter With hope,these failing efforts a dim but tender light, may spark a gentle glory doomed but dying bright. These minutes of enchantment will illustrate the night the knot of our pulses and one more broken flight. 04/08/2004 Posted on 04/08/2004 Copyright © 2024 Richard Trotter Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Ashok Sharda on 04/10/04 at 03:31 AM 'may spark a gentle glory doomed but dying bright.' beautiful lines the central idea of this profound piece. The approach is so positive and full of life despite the gloom. Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 04/11/04 at 09:09 AM excellent rhyming here... i love this piece... you can feel the deperation, yet there is a sense of hope and knowledge that tomorrow is a new day... and should tomorrow not call, one will go out shining bright... very good, richard... well conveyed... blessings... Posted by Mary Ellen Smith on 04/11/04 at 11:43 AM This little poem has a big spirit to it...and courage too. Isn't that what it takes sometimes to retreat? Love it. Posted by Rula Shin on 04/12/04 at 08:14 PM Beautiful words of hope amidst "dim...failing efforts" - like finding a shining truth before the final dull "retreat" of one more "broken flight" - that's my take in any case. Nicely done :-) Posted by Paganini Jones on 05/09/04 at 08:20 PM Not many poets can pull off rhyme, but this is good. Effective, even powerful in its brevity.
