LONELY TOWN

 

Meteor shower at Chesterman Beach

On the nighttime beach
under the cascading Perseides -
a universe of stars above,
bioluminesence glittering on the sea
below -

I am small, the only watcher
under a glorious sky;
a lone wolf
on an empty shore
ever since your goodbye.

for Desperate Poets, where the prompt is: Lonely Town

  2. Is that from this weekend? It was too cloudy here for me to see the meteor shower. One does feel small under the vast heavens ` Truedessa

  3. I didnt see it either - too tired to go out in the evenings, and I miss a lot of gorgeousness that way.

  4. I am sure you were not alone and yet....still that call across the veil is filled with longing and loneliness. Beautiful.

  5. I'm sure those starry beachside moments were such a different place with Pup. The loneliness of it now makes the connection eternal.

  6. A perfectiy painted canvas of loneliness, heartfelt and beautiful and pungently sad.
