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

Beautiful simplicity in the realization that we are all sharing the same world, the same days. This piece gave me a chance to reflect on this idea and find comfort in it. Thanks for sharing!

And all things must come to an end, the good things and the bad. Very nice, kind of sad, but I liked it.

A lovely theme.......

At the end of the day, when the lights go out, when all is said and done, battles fought, sometimes won.....we all lay our heads down to sleep and hope to rest in peace and happiness, always ready to wake the next morning and take up the reins on our lives again.

A very interesting poem, Nisreen. A poem like the daily stories of all our lives. Neat work.
