It’s rather late on what has been an incredibly blustery Saturday, full of sidewalk music, reminiscing with childhood books, and a multitude of snuggles with a certain curly-headed, bright-eyed little girl. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to share with you today, but then I stumbled upon this poem and decided on it for a few reasons…
- It uses bookish metaphors and I’ve been reading a lot of books recently.
- It talks about music and today has been full of it, from some rather unexpected corners.
- It references a sunset, and we had a softly magnificent one tonight.
So, for those reasons, here is a poem that I wrote, not really sure where I was going. But I went somewhere, and this is the result!

What a plot twist you were,
with your edelweiss soul and your waltzing eyes.
You dropped into my life with gentle, calloused hands
scattering heart-joy as you went.
I didn’t expect you,
you starry-eyed dancer,
you daughter of the dawn and all things new.
I didn’t know that I was missing
your whisper in the purpling dusk,
your lark-song of hope that soared with
wings of moonshine and midsummer madness.
When you came, the music
changed key and took me with it –
come love, let’s fly together into
this devoted sunset.
~
So there you go – I hope you enjoyed this poem of mine!
I’d love to chat about it with you in the comments! What plot twists have you encountered recently?
Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music???☺️

What a thought! I will admit that she wasn’t on my mind when I wrote this poem… But it works very well with her character! Great idea! 🤗
