Last rays of splendour

Literature Text

Dappled amber caresses green hands,
Comforts the crimson beside the golden,
Damaged and burnt -
At the setting of the sun.

Another Eden has come and gone;
Now rakes take away the spent and tired -
For what use now their supplications to the sun?

The days grow dim, grey;
The last rays of splendour grow short;
Time now turns to the whitened blanket,
Somnolence and muffled silence -
Leaving only bony digits straining to the heavens,
And a quiet, humble prayer:
That golden orb may smile on them once more.
We all feel the end of the golden season, I think, with a little regret - Hope you like it, critique very welcome!

Yours had some to: WinterComes, I like your attention to wildlife and also I especially liked the lines

"When winter blooms flowers wither"

and

"The trees turn brown and white
Hiding deep in their roots
A spark of life "

and

"We sit and wait with frozen hearts and darkness within
For the touch of spring upon our cheeks
And a light to warm our hearts".

Beautiful. I've posted this on both pages, it feels appropriate?

And thanks for the :+fav:!
