I had watched
In waning sunlight
How it reflected
In soft contours
As one sun
Became another
And yet another
That set
In each watery stream
Until in darkness
I walk away
Too cowardly to admit
That I
Am the cause
Of those tears

Oooo! I like where those last lines took this!
Thanks De!
The “one sun becoming another” is mesmerizing. I read this poem at least 4 times. ❤
Why thank you.
I read it 5 times 😉
Just kidding – not sure how many times I read it – but it got better each time!

Thank you, Sanaa!
wow, that’s really strong.
Thank you.
What a powerful visual you conjure with your words. I think it hurts worst when we hurt another that we care about.
Very, very true, Lisa.
When we hurt the ones we love we also damage ourselves. Beautifully put!
That is very much the truth. Thanks Ingrid.
