Echoes of Daylight
Could not remember the time
When love made me feel
Too many a longing question
Denying life unreal
Echoes of daylight
Warm whisper through trees
If you think I’ll never miss her
Then God you don’t know me

Echoes of sunlight and as it falls with those last rays the blues settle in like a cold winter night. Good capture and well illustrated too Adam. Well written. Gay @beachanny

Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/night/
October 26, 2010 at 10:21 pm
This speaks straight to the heart, Adam. It makes me think of all the times we fail to appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. Lovely One Shot.
October 26, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Beauty tinged with pain…they seem to go hand-in-hand.
Very nice, Adam

Perfectly said Dustus… and I can relate to it too… I relate to it so much that I am not able to hold my self from sharing one of mine that I have had posted few days back at twitter..
Pain is
When you feel like
Stopping the sunrise.
I loved your words and the question was apt… too.

Goodness, such a beautiful display of emotion! Warming, chilling, longing–you capture your longing perfectly in these two short stanzas. Relateable, and heartfelt. Kudos, sir.
October 27, 2010 at 10:01 am
Your last lines echo what often rings through my heart. Regardless of the circumstances… they hold truth in their simplicity and the complexity.
October 27, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Ahhhh!! It made me wanna cry.
I think one of the experiences that more makes us feel real is missing somebody… how can you explain it? I mean it not always shows phisically, it is a total soul expression. The cold and tears are just the reflection of what´s really inside us.
Great One shot!!
October 27, 2010 at 12:45 pm
The missing of someone. Deep. No question.
October 27, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Thats allot of power packed into a small verse…beautiful.
October 27, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Missing someone is tough.. the feelings aren’t easy to take.. a well expressed and worded poem, Dustus!
October 27, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Short but poignant AD, it pulls me into the moment very well
October 27, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Love the ending!
October 27, 2010 at 5:40 pm
I found the poem very heartwarming and got a real sense of yearning. Very nice.
October 27, 2010 at 6:37 pm
I love what Kodjo said about this poem, Adam. I wish I’d have thought to say that! Wonderful, melancholy read my friend. 🙂
October 27, 2010 at 6:40 pm
It is always with those first echoes of daylight that the realization and the missing feels the worst for me..lovely poem and wonderful to hear you read it.
October 27, 2010 at 6:55 pm
The words were powerful and the reading completed the experience.
i like to read poems that deal with strong emotions.
They mean so much more
October 27, 2010 at 9:56 pm
simply lovely, nice one shot
October 27, 2010 at 10:19 pm
The only thing worst than “not remember the time when love made me feel” is a loveless relationship making one feel dead.
October 28, 2010 at 12:25 am
not miss her. How won’t you. After all fancy is more beautiful than the real.
October 28, 2010 at 3:58 am
Makes my heart ache. Excellent!
October 28, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Great poem Adam and picture perfect to match. Glad to see you’re still at it!
October 28, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Excellent pairing of photo and poem, Adam. I like each line all a part of the whole poem. Each thought runs together, for me, in this one. My Father lost his wife, my Mother, at first dawn and he must have felt like this. This one I write down.
October 29, 2010 at 1:31 pm
excellent sentiment….wonderful image…great one shot…cheers pete
