Summer days are as long as the longest path.
Dark skies are drawn in hours upon days
As the landscape stretches .
Cups of flowers multiply in magentas
And the brightest of yellows.
Leaves complement and share the space in
Perfect union.
Hours pass before a star appears.
Day veils the nightfall.
Shadows delay
Letting dusk follow.
The poem, “Delayed Shadows,” and the artwork, “Along the Path,” by Marsha Solomon.
