Streetlights shine down our way so we can walk safely and with definite direction. But their aging presence has become ignored by people who walk the same road every night. Is this going to happen to the streetlights of our lives one day?
Evanescing streetlight
At the crack of dawn
Its doting bathing of night
will not soon
End, but will forever keep on.
In those countless still nights ---
My repressed praises,
My lame cajole ---
My pointless bawls.
My driving with broken headlights
In a misty road's blind maze---
The lamp's brightness, a chiding gaze.
After this passing midnight
the sun wakes up to the tired street lamp.
--- My evanescent streetlight.

Beautifully penned down :) Cheerio :)
yes, our streetlights would be tired after the dark nights of our lives...and the sun saves their energy for yet another darkness in life..
cheers!
Thanks for visiting My World.... much appreciated.
Take care.

The more our age progresses the more streetlights we see in the avenue of our lives....the lamps of wisdom and hope and faith...but sometimes, during the dark hours, some of them flicker and die out...
And yes, I believe that with poetry, you can make those ordinary, often neglected things show their meaning and value.
Cheers and hugs to all!
and for stopping by my blog!
