Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are:
Decaying, Ember, Fragrant.
The Closing of the Day
Fragrant.
Aromatic.
Earthy.
Drifting low
In the dew laden air
Smoke carries
Its own peace.
The fire,
Once alive,
Is now decaying.
Dying.
Slowly
But dying.
Fading with the night,
Into the night,
Until the last ember
Ceases to glow
And the ashes turn cold
And grey.

A beautifully expressed poem about the death of a relationship which was based on passion and nothing much else to sustain it.Excellent use of the words.
ReplyDeleteQuite a mood set here. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe analogy to cancer is clear enough but I feel that it offers little hope.
