Evening Flight Poem by Sandra Fowler

Evening Flight

Rating: 5.0


The lemon lady fingers of the sun
Lay ribbons of pale mercy on the cold.
Silk birds like kites lift dreams as high as smoke.
The music of the moment lives on hope.

Gray roofs are steeping thickly to the west.
Snow flakes like ghosts fall softly through the mind.
I feel the shelter of your shadow hand
Stroking my trembling wings for evening flight.

This is one poem that enables the reader to let their minds fly and soar, interpreting it as they will - I love the way it is both complex and simple and demands more than one read to fully absorb the richness of the imagery created. Warmest wishes, Justine.

How beautiful your imagery across these lines! You are a true architect of life, mastering the power of words and feelings, emotions. I also feel 'the shelter of your...powerful hand.' Warmest regards, Maria
