The lights go out

The lights go out

A Poem by Nisreen


in the shiniest veil 
of a tender night

We all go down
just the same

the struggling father
after a long day

the youthful woman
staring a peace of mind

the lonely child
turning around in bed

the relocated family
finding warmth on a cold day

Your physician
fought cancer tonight

A teacher wrote 
down his memories

The artist threw 
a splash of paint 

a George
that gave up Jane

All lights go out
just the same

The witty writer
puts down his pen

When darkness controls the skies the machinery of life chugs on unabated. The imagery used to paint this piece are so vivid and explicit they provide the light in this still night. If I tried to write in this progressive couplets format I would feel limited; but you provide guidance by positioning all puzzle pieces in a coherent fashion. Very well done. take care...dan

all in a day's work
the writer writes,
the dancer twerks,
the barista creates
a wonderful taste
inspiring us all
to answer life's call
