Inseparable

40 years of this view- 🌅 

Yet it sets so quickly,

Daylight lessens 

Fleeting life under the sun,

Flowers brilliantly fading,

We are inseparable, really

Nothing lacking 

No time to despair

Memories of our family warm the chilled evening air

We are inseparable, really

Love- blazing as the sun-setting-light deep into our bones and spirit

Fragrant as the flowers; holding dear the petals and beautiful fading light

About this poem: Inseparable is a poem about seeing the sunset at our home of 40 years. Prior to seeing the sunset blazing through the flowers on the picnic table - I commented to my wife Jayne, "we are inseparable, really". So many beautiful family times on this side stone patio and table. So many times, I viewed the sun setting on a cold evening while grilling and recalled our family that now live far and away and have families of their own. Time really is fleeting, the flowers do fade this time of year, yet recalling the love we have experienced together brightens ever chill of fall air and the light and warmth blazes through the fragrant flowers. - Joe Holuta
