Analysis of Dark brown bread bathed in light



Loaf of darkened bread
bathed in soft vameer light
behind trembling shadows

A still life portrait
of loaf of dark brown bread
sits on old wooden
table lined with age

crust  roughly crisp
hardened to the touch
crumbs scattered to its side
beside the peels of orange rinds
aromatic memories that fill life's senses
of forgotten times

the soft muted tones of light
pass through the half opened
window  particles of dust rise
slowly floating through beams of light

high lights caress the contours
exposing valleys lined with age
by its side sits a porciline cup
and saucer delicately fine
half filled with steaming tea

outside in the fading distance
through the opening of the window
slight sound s of bird song
wisper's in its forgetfulness
of another day
