Evening Dew ~Darkens Jo's Horizon~
by A. Paige White
I brought you a rainbow
With my heart pounding
Never knowing if or when
The smile you bring my face
Will fade from this world’s view
The colors were few
But, oh, how they glow
And right on cue
I brought you a rainbow
And I might have caught the dew09/18/2009
Author's Note: A sunset in the journey at day's end...
Who but God could tie such a bow in the sky?
...the better to bless His tired, petulant children...

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 09/19/09 at 03:59 AM you are such a sap these days. in a good way!...i mean, you found love and passion...that deserves quite a few good poems to be written about it, i'd say. :) either way, you took an old, potentially cliche' subject here and gave it a little extra sparkle...a beam of life and hope. this is pretty, without trying too hard to be just that. :D niiiiice. |

| Posted by Joe David on 09/19/09 at 04:51 AM Fresh and uplifting. I can feel the hopeful but concerned anticipation. |
| Posted by Jo Halliday on 09/19/09 at 07:51 AM The dew doesn't darken my horizon; it's the pretence of turning your other cheek and yet actually just running away from any kind of solid argument which would force you to see yourself, light, world. The shambles of a religion built around violence and falsity, and hoodwinking centuries of people. [ People sometimes on Pathetic change things around; so the comment is on your updated title "Evening Dew ~Darkens Jo's Horizon~" ] Can't you enjoy a rainbow in its grandeur in yourself so as to bring some third party to grovel to? |
