Dying Light

This is a very lovely and contemplative piece, Delanee.  I particularly am intrigued by the final couplet inferring light travels - and thus what we've seen in the Universal space already happened.

Thank you so much, Ahavati. I like that the final couplet caught your eye like that, it was the most important one for myself to be really honest. Like, there is no reason to mourn now, it has already happened -who knows how- long ago.

Delanee.

Thank you, BP. It really means a lot to hear that. :-)

i believe i finally understand the spilt milk concept
such powerful brevity, delanee... what lingers between your lines is both weight & lure

This comment is everything right now, shadoe! Thank you very much for saying these kind words… I'm glad the poem could reach you like this.

Delanee.

Absolutely. I'm glad everyone is getting the message, I needed it myself I think. :-)

Thank you, as ever.

I like the mix with 'time travel' that what we see in the night-sky happened long ago due to the great distances for light to travel to us - and then the hidden suggestion of 'destiny' regrading relationships (and all of our lives really) that they have already 'happened' - and here we are experiencing those lives in some kind of slow motion so we can begin to understand it all.
