Evening Shade

by Glenn G   May 12, 2018


My journey through life
Was longer than some
Shorter than others

Many prices were paid

It started with dreams
After facing the trials
I realized my druthers

I wish I’d been staid

Marriage betrayed me
Sadness consumed
My life was in a stutter

I found myself astray

Light came to my life late
My heart could have been burnt
And left in a flutter

But you became my “Evening Shade”

      Thanks. It seems somewhat senseless unless you read it at the end of my novel. I appreciate it.

    Awww, Glenn! Simple and just full of love. I felt it. I like the image of an evening shade too. I felt a deeper meaning in that.

      Thank you. I tried something I have never done before, a poem within a poem.
