Traced In Autumnal Sighs

Beyond the birch and gallow of spring's salvation, an echo did carry, a lifeless song; as petals broke under zephyr's sway, and the two red hues met in a kiss: in sunset and sunrise of flowery twins.5

Author notes

It is amazing how stories can be told within metaphor and a few words. Ironic isn't it, how two twins can be seperated by the mere breadth of relation.

I doubt twins can live one without the other, they would feel -- to put it right -- a red rose in a white boquet, but hey, I've never had a twin.

If Indian karma is true, I'll make an appointment with God for my next life ... promises ... promises ...

  • This is very good. You capture a moment in such few words. The descriptions are short, but very good. Great work!

    Very beautiful and poetic. 'Tis true, writers have favorite words. (zephyrs )

    The only thing I could suggest is possibly removing the comma between "an echo did carry, a lifeless song." It doesn't seem right and kinda disrupts the flow.

    Otherwise, very nicely penned.
