Twilight

Blackout Poem excerpt from Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
#poetry
Let’s not talk for a while just lie here and watch
It’s lovely Twilight settles a feeling of peace
Swallows pass on silent wings animals sniff the familiar hear the trill of the tree toad the occasional sounds comfort
he loved life loved to be a part of the world
The thought of death came
“I don’t want to die.” “Of course you don’t.”
“I love it here. I love everything.” “Of course you do. We all do.”
