timdski: RIP, William Stanley Merwin
MomiraMonika: Every year without knowing
I have passed the day
when the last fires will wave to me
and the silence will set out
tireless traveler
like the beam of a lightless star ~

Dusk in Winter
The sun sets in the cold without friends,
Without reproaches after all it has done for us.
It goes down believing in nothing.
When it has gone I hear the stream running after it.
It has brought its flute it is a long way.
juanviejo: Short, sweet and sad.

bach_peter: The cold slope is standing in darkness
But the south of the trees is dry to the touch
The heavy limbs climb into the moonlight bearing feathers
I came to watch these
White plants older at night
The oldest
Come first to the ruins

FrRobbieOCall: She wanted to hear the angels sing.
So she dreamed that her arms became wings.
Then she flew up to heaven to hear their golden voices.
Hearing them sing made her eyes moist.
She woke up so happy from her dream.
From her face a smile beamed.
