Lingering

Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille
Monday – #227
where our host,
De Jackson, has offered up the
word “smile”. Here is my quadrille.

The golden sun begins to set too low
We linger where the chilly shadows grow
Hand in hand, a grip we can’t untie
A heavy silence masks this hard goodbye
Through my tears I see your fragile smile
Staying here for just another mile
