DAWN AND SUNSET

Copyright 1984 - PATRICIA A. FARRINGTON

BY: Patricia A. Farrington

Sea born

cobwebs of fog,

shroud buildings,

and rose gardens.

Buildings,

oversized railroad cars,

corridors cut by leaden doors,

bring back a door

once easily opened,

in gown of white.

She is tired now,

she walks peacefully

in the shadow of death

which waits for all.

She beholds sea, sky,

and flowers.

Seeing yesterdays

in sunlight on roses.

Loved ones are gone now,

and she waits patiently

for time to still the flesh

started, when flesh was

rose petal white,

and flushed.
